We reinforce the cybersecurity and reliability of Democratic campaign infrastructure where the stakes are highest. Our proactive approach provides robust protection support for critical campaign systems and newly-emerging tools.

We work with mission-aligned organizations to set strategy and deploy Artificial Intelligence while staying aligned with our principles of safety, security, and ethics.

The collaboration between Arena and Zinc Labs has fundamentally transformed how Democratic campaigns invest in staff, nurture talent and prioritize resource sharing in the industry. Our collaboration is leading to more women, more people of color, more members of the LGBTQ+ community, and more people from underrepresented communities holding positions of leadership on key races.”
