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.”
