DU’s IGNITE National Chapter held an event on climate justice and women in politics hosting the speaker Dr. Diana Bray on February 14. Bray is running for the US Senate seat currently held by Cory Gardner. She is a DU Alum and her platform’s focus is on climate justice activism, divestment from fossil fuels, and female empowerment.
“I started working to regulate the [petroleum] industry with those few [grassroot organizations] who were, because our state government was not interested in doing that and has not been interested in doing that,” said Bray. She is now working to be this change.
IGNITE is a national, non-partisan organization that works to empower women in political leadership positions. There are chapters in colleges and even high schools across many states in the US. IGNITE is continuing to expand and recently, a chapter at DU was reinstated.

I really enjoyed the part about how women are looked upon differently when it comes to fundraising. That is a tough stereotype. I wonder if there is a way in which to combat this issue. good article.
