Citizens Project is a constituent-led organization that is creating a more vibrant democracy in the Pikes Peak region. We do this by promoting civic engagement, providing voter education, and publicly advocating for more equitable, inclusive, and just policies at the state and local levels.
We believe that democracies are at their best when voters are informed, people have access to elected leaders, and all are free to participate in shaping public policy. We envision a Pikes Peak community where individual rights are protected, differences are respected, and people fully participate in civic and community life.
Citizens Project will create a more robust local government by empowering voters from across the city, and ensuring that all residents are represented in decisions being made on their behalf.
El Paso County is in the bottom 10% of all 64 Colorado counties by voter turnout!
“Citizens Project is our beacon in these dark times, our ally in hope and inclusion, and a strong voice that we are proud to support. Citizens Project helped make Colorado Springs our home.” — Gail and Craig Johnson
