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.

Over 50 people attended our first Community Engagement Series - a dialogue on Equity at the Hillside Community Center that featured community conversations led by experts in the equity space. This event encouraged conversations with the purpose of learning, growing, and understanding the complexities of equity.

If you were unable to attend, we're planning our NEXT Community Engagement Series Event! Stay Tuned!

Also, at the Community Engagement Event, Jan Tanner was recognized for her passionate commitment and ongoing support of Citizens Project where she was awarded the Amy Devine award for 2021. THANK YOU JAN!
