IGNITE's Blog

In an era where “news” is constantly showing up while we’re scrolling through our socials, whether or not we asked for it, it is important to be able to recognize when the information we see isn't quite what it seems. "Information disorder" is a term that covers everything from honest (albeit careless) mistakes to intentional attacks. It’s more than just "fake news," it has the potential to cause real harm to real people, especially as we approach the 2026 midterms.

This spring, IGNITE welcomes 16 interns from across the country. These young leaders bring wide-ranging experiences, creative ideas, and a deep commitment to IGNITE’s mission.

For many young people, the journey toward public office begins long before they ever file campaign paperwork or knock on their first door. It starts on campus: in student clubs, advisory boards, and student government meetings where young women learn to speak up, advocate for change, and step into leadership.

This fall, IGNITE welcomed 22 phenomenal interns from across the country. These young leaders bring wide-ranging experiences, creative ideas, and a deep commitment to IGNITE’s mission.

Dear friend, 

As I enter into my first 180 days of office as school board trustee, I find myself reflecting on the “how.” How did I get to the day I take the oath of office? There are many life experiences that prepared me but I keep thinking back to my time serving in college student government. The decision to run in college almost mirrored when I first decided to run for office. There was a moment when I just knew that’s what I wanted to do and felt called to serve.
