The IGNITE Impact Challenge is a national video competition that invites participants to share how Public Law 119-21, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, is affecting individuals, families, and communities across the United States. If you're passionate about affordable healthcare, climate change, immigration rights, student loans, or taxes, we know you have thoughts! That's why we've teamed up with the Bigglesworth Family Foundation to launch this video challenge.
