We envision a Pikes Peak community that is a vibrant democracy

in which equal rights are protected,

individual freedoms are secure, differences are respected,

and people fully participate in civic and community life.

There's been SO much going on at Citizens Project!

Highlights from the past 2 weeks have included The Pikes Peak Pride Event, where Citizens Project participated by hosting a booth and walking in the Parade!

SO MUCH FUN SUPPORTING INCLUSION IN OUR COMMUNITY!

Any opportunity to engage the next generation is always exciting and inspiring! Colorado College Stroud Scholars Summer Experience recently met with Executive Director, Mike Williams to learn about the principles of civic engagement and how Citizens Project encourages and cultivates engagement in the Pikes Peak Region.

Inspiring young minds to engage!

 HARVARD ELECTION LAWSUIT UPDATE

In response to the Complaint regarding the timing of municipal elections, the City of Colorado Springs has filed an ANSWER in lieu of a motion to dismiss. (LINKED)

In terms of next steps, Harvard Law Election Clinic (HLEC) will be talking with the attorneys for the City about the schedule for the case and then proceed with scheduling a conference call with the magistrate judge on August 31. At that point, the case will be moving into the discovery process and HLEC will begin working with all of the plaintiffs (Citizens Project, LWVPPR, Black/Latino Leadership Coalition, and Colorado Latinos Vote) on gathering documents in response to the City’s discovery requests.
