The Platform
DEG1 is an ecosystem built on three foundational pillars:
Why it Matters Now
Through curated webinars, strategy sessions, Hill meetings, and celebration events, DEG1 Ecosystem creates direct bridges between neighborhoods and national legislation.
In a time where division, disconnection, and disenfranchisement are shaping the public landscape, DEG1 is answering with a unifying force: Impact on the Hill —a bold, people-powered national movement rooted in equity, powered by technology, and driven by solutions.
What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a full-scale national platform—with community leaders, policy champions, business innovators, and nonprofit trailblazers converging to address the real issues facing America’s underserved communities: access, ownership, and opportunity.
MiPA Accelerator Pitch
The MiPA Accelerator Pitch: A program supporting minority entrepreneurs with capital access, mentorship, and solutions. Each cohort unlocks not just business skills, opportunity and scalability—but influence. These founders don’t just grow their companies—they shape their cities.
Love Fest w/ Laila's Love Initiative
Volunteers from community cleanups to food distribution, urban gardens to wireless hotspots—is love in action. A festival of civic service, culture, and collective resilience.
- Grassroots innovation needs institutional champions.
- Policy must be rooted in what real communities are doing—and what they need.
This campaign meets that moment.
