Ignite

IGNITE is building a national movement of diverse young women who are ready and eager to own their political power. Young women have unique knowledge of societal issues, having lived them, yet few are granted the opportunity to build their power. IGNITE's work nurtures this ability in every Gen Z woman, so each gains the skills, tools, and relationships to alter the shape of American democracy for the better, for generations.
