The Platform
DEG1 is an ecosystem built on three foundational pillars:
Power of Connectivity w/ Laila's Love Initiative
The Power of Connectivity Campaign empowers nonprofits, philanthropic organizations, and community partners to close the digital divide by helping bring affordable, reliable internet access to underserved communities nationwide.
This effort transforms connectivity into measurable impact — creating a pathway for digital learning, workforce readiness, and community resilience.
Connection = Action = Impact.
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.
