ÈâÂþÎÝ

Please join the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network for a special session with  â€”  the largest, most diverse movement of young women owning their civic engagement and political leadership in the United States. Hear from two former and current IGINITE Fellows, Yasmeen Metellus (Birnbaum Women's Leadership Fellow, ÈâÂþÎÝ Law '24) and Amaya Flores (Columbia University), about pathways to political leadership outside of campaigning for or holding elected office. They’ll provide a Voter Education 101, too, about how to navigate elections here in New York this season. And IGNITE’s Northeast Program Director Jacelyn Matthews will share more about IGNITE’s leadership and mobilization programs and ways for ÈâÂþÎÝ Law students can get involved.
