About IGNITE

IGNITE-Transparent-Web

Invest in Graduate Not Incarceration, Transform Education (IGNITE) aims to help dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline through education and advocacy at UC campuses, surrounding communities, and statewide.

Originating in 2013, the IGNITE campaign focused on educating UC students on important legislation such as AB 218 (Ban the Box) and AB 420 (ban of willful defiance suspensions in grade K-3).

For the 2014-15 academic year, IGNITE has already advocated for the recently passed Prop 47, and has engaged UC students in taking a stand against police brutality.

Stay tuned for updates on the IGNITE campaign in 2015, and connect with the IGNITE campaign on Facebook and Twitter.
