Dear John:

Simply put, advocacy gives us power to influence the law. IGNITE’s advocacy training programs — IGNITE the Capitol Advocacy Days and the National College Convention in Washington, D.C. — prove the effectiveness of being outspoken about the causes that matter.

• CA AB 1139: Rape Kit Accessibility
• CA AB 732: Reproductive Dignity for Incarcerated People Act
• CA SB 1161: Increase Safety for Public Transit Riders
• CA AB 367: The Menstrual Equity for All Act of 2021
• CA AB 2608: Comprehensive Title IX Trainings
• CA AB 2229: Know Your Period Act
• CA AB 810: Post-Secondary Education: Hiring Practices
• CO HB 24: Free Menstrual Products to Students
• NV SB 131: Codifying Reproductive Health Care Rights
• TX HB 70: An Act to Make Menstrual Products Tax-Exempt

IGNITE participants advocate to elected officials at IGNITE the Capitol Colorado

Many young people want to advocate for their communities, but the cost of traveling to their state capitols for training presents a real financial burden. You have the power to help.

A donation to No Time to Lose: The IGNITE Scholarship Fund will help the next generation of leaders access the training they need to positively impact legislation.

Thanks to a generous match from Nia Impact Capital, every dollar you donate will be doubled.

• $10 → $25: Covers snacks for participants before they head to legislative meetings.
• $25 → $50: Covers meals for one participant at IGNITE the Capitol.
• $50 → $100: Supports bus transportation to a state capitol.
• $100 → $200: Covers flights to state capitols.
• $200 → $500: Funds travel to Washington, D.C. for the National College Convention.

If you feel concerned about protecting your rights or the rights of those you love, let that fuel you to invest in IGNITE’s advocacy programming. In order to secure our rights for the future, we must give the next generation of leaders the tools they need to advocate today. There is no time to lose.

With gratitude,

Sara Guillermo, IGNITE CEO
