Democracy Labs

DemLabs works with campaigns to understand their needs, finds the best free/affordable apps that meet it and then freely shares how others can use the solution as well.

DemLabs started in 2017 to help grassroots groups make better use of technology by assessing their needs to find the best existing apps that meet them. We document and freely share how the solution was applied so other groups can apply it themselves. Our focus is on free / affordable apps and we provide free consulting to progressive groups to implement their solutions. Over 1,000 case studies shown here. <https://thedemlabs.org/blog/> We also explain best practices in fields such as tackling disinformation, video creation and storytelling.
