Brian Derrick: Creating a one-stop-shop for political giving

You Decide with Errol Louis

Oath is a tech platform that provides data-driven recommendations for Democratic donors to make campaign contributions based on their issue interests, geographic focus or other criteria to maximize their impact. The platform connects donors with candidates and ballot initiatives they never would have found otherwise.

Brian Derrick is a political strategist, activist and tech entrepreneur who is revolutionizing civic engagement as the CEO of Oath. He joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss why he created Oath and his hopes for the future of the organization. They also discussed Oath’s immediate goals for the upcoming election, the importance of downballot races and the disadvantages of the antiquated methods candidates currently used to raise money.
