This document discusses how digital tools can empower marginalized communities and support democracy. It provides examples of using tools like OpenStreetMap in Haiti for disaster response mapping, monitoring electoral violence in Haiti, and stopping gender-based violence through data gathering and empowering local partners. Interactive polls are also used to discuss lessons from technology's role in the Egyptian revolution and grassroots decision making.
