My current focus is driving progressive change and strengthening democracy. In 2022, I ran for New York State Assembly to advance an agenda of housing affordability, livable streets, desegregation, decarceration, democracy, and climate action.
In 2020, I built and ran Maine’s first voter protection program for Joe Biden and down-ballot Democrats. Last cycle, I ran voter protection in the northeast for the DCCC. In between, I put together this Guide to Small-D Democratic Work to help others get involved.
Earlier, I founded DipJar, which helps low-wage service workers and nonprofits collect electronic tips and donations. I was CEO from 2011 to 2017, then served as chairman until the company’s acquisition.
