Grateful for a community that believes in possibility

Dear John,

This Thanksgiving, as politics feels messy and our country more divided than ever, we are leaning into gratitude.

Please take a moment to enjoy this short video from our team, reflecting on the community and moments we are most grateful for.

We are thankful for a generation of young women and gender-expansive youth who refuse to give up on democracy. They are organizing on campuses, running for office, and creating spaces for dialogue and belonging, even when it is hard.

We are thankful for our past and present participants who lead with courage and compassion, showing us that political leadership can be both principled and inclusive. IGNITE’s leaders prove that the future of politics can be brighter, more inclusive, and grounded in care. 

We are thankful for our community, including YOU, who continue to believe that change is possible when we nurture connection and community over devision and polarization.

Wishing you peace, hope, and connection this Thanksgiving.

Warmly, 
Sara Guillermo, IGNITE CEO
