Solving Problems With Free (Or Affordable) Tech Solutions For Progressive Campaigns | Hello Merge Tag Ep 9

Deepak Puri is an engineer and Silicon Valley exec with over 15 years experience at Oracle, Netscape and VMware.

He co-founded Democracy Labs after the 2106 Presidential election with the mission to apply innovative technology and storytelling to progressive, social justice and voting rights causes.

DemLabs is a nonprofit that exists to share details on free and affordable solutions that activists can use.

Deepak believes that by applying existing business apps to progressive causes, campaigns can make a bigger impact with less money.

Deepak publishes a daily blog which now has over 2,000 case studies – you can find that at www.thedemlabs.org

We checked in with Deepak to learn more about his work, his daily case studies, ways campaigns can scale using the tools he’s highlighting and a whole lot more.
