Join DashRoots
An advocacy network of Dashers, merchants, and consumers who support policies that drive economic opportunity and empower local economies.
Empowering Local Voices
Dashers
Most Dashers prefer to remain as independent contractors so they can keep their flexibility and freedoms since most are part-time. DashRoots will amplify their voices in policy debates.
Merchants
Merchants generally agree that DoorDash helped them reach new customers. DashRoots supports policies that allow merchants to grow and thrive, like unlocking new earning opportunities.
Consumers
Customers overwhelmingly feel good about supporting local merchants by using DoorDash. Through DashRoots consumers will have a unique opportunity to speak out on policies that strengthen their local community and support food access.

“Many small businesses in New Zealand rely on partnerships with third-party platforms like DoorDash to reach new customers, boost overall orders, and fulfill deliveries. Having access to an advocacy network like DashRoots will empower businesses like mine to reach policymakers and better serve our customers.”

“DashRoots gives me a platform to share my story and push back on misinformation surrounding what gig workers really want from the industry. For me, DoorDash is a way to supplement my income from my full-time job, which allows me to visit my daughter who lives far away. It has been fantastic to earn money on my own terms.”
