How D4A curator Chris McCoy views public policy

From coal mines to computing inside two generations, learn about how Chris views public policy. In short, it's purple.
RED, WHITE, BLUE … AND PURPLE

We have more in common than we realize, yet we're fiercely divided by red and blue. It's time to embrace our purple.

We're not as divided as we think. Beneath the surface of red and blue, we have shared values and common ground — our “purple.”

Purple isn't just a mix of red and blue; it's a symbol of our collective strength. When we look beyond labels and listen to each other, we discover where we can make real progress.
