Mission
Leaders Igniting Transformation (LIT) is a youth of color-led independent nonprofit. Founded in 2017, LIT engages in values-based issues and electoral organizing, direct action, advocacy for public policy, and leadership development.

We are organizing a political and cultural bloc of young people to define the future of our communities through public policy and cultural change. We believe progressive grassroots political power is most effectively built with a two-pronged strategy – growing resilience and excellence of youth of color, and engaging youth in a full spectrum of year-round civic engagement.

Mission

We work to build homegrown leadership, expanding access and opportunity, and promote an equitable society by engaging and organizing the leadership of young people.



Vision

To transform communities through a bold and proactive agenda led by young people, that in our lifetime makes the movement to respect and value black and brown lives matter a reality.
