IGNITE's Blog

IGNITE is beyond excited to announce that Christina Williams will be serving Atlanta as the IGNITE fellow this year. An influential leader in the IGNITE community, you may recognize Christina as the president and founder of IGNITE's Clark Atlanta University chapter or as a powerful voting rights activist in Atlanta who just testified for redistricting and fair maps in Georgia. We caught up with Christina to discuss her vision for Georgia as a community leader, advocate, and IGNITE fellow.

IGNITE Fellows are politically active local leaders who organize their communities to flex their political power. We've rounded up and answered your most pressing questions about the IGNITE Fellowship.

Meet the 5th cohort of IGNITE Fellows. Every year IGNITE recruits a cohort of diverse and passionate women in communities across America and provides them with resources, training, and networks to flex their political power and mobilize women on their campuses and in their communities to become civically engaged. Fellows serve as ambassadors for IGNITE’s mission and vision and play a valuable role in our efforts to spread a national message that it is time for young women to step into political power.
