Keynote: How we make good
summary
A tech-for-good org called Ragtag is a 600-strong community that coordinates volunteers to build real tools — coding, API integrations, consulting and copy — and it builds things that work, for example a CRM for Spread the Vote that helps scale ID acquisition across states. The keynote argues small actions add up — call reps, boycott, walk out, donate — and recounts a medical emergency where CPR and a defibrillator revived after ~10 minutes.
