I am here to plant the seed now that they can and should run.” -Rosie Torres, Oakland Unified School District Board of Directors “It is so important that we find and train young women of color who are fiercely dedicated to serving underrepresented communities. I first ran for office when I was 24 and I'm glad that IGNITE is encouraging young women like me to step up and lead.” -Park Cannon, Georgia House Representative "IGNITE is the tipping point for transformation in this country, by engaging young women in a whole new process of making a difference in the lives of so many Americans.” -Michelle Lujan Grisham, Congresswoman Partnerships Expand IGNITE’s Reach IGNITE partners with national organizations that care about our mission and share our goals.
