"Since its founding in 1992, Citizens Project has been a valuable community partner to Colorado College. From the very beginning, Citizens Project has worked closely with members of Colorado College's queer student body to protect the rights and civil liberties of LGBTQIA+ Coloradans. In my time with Citizens Project, I've been fortunate to see this tradition continue on and expand to promote equity, inclusion, and justice for all. I've also had the opportunity to see the difference that CC students make regarding the civic engagement and equity work that Citizens Project within the community. Citizens Project would not be in the same place without the dedication, commitment, and lived experience that students, volunteers, interns, and Bonner Fellows bring to the table, and the organization is proud to impart practical and professional skills as well as real-world experience to the future leaders of our city, state, and country."

Citizens Project monitors bills each year at the Colorado State Legislature, and we report back to our community about bills we support and oppose, based on their alignment with our values of equity, inclusion, and justice.

Each year we publish a Legislator Report Card at the end of every Legislative Session, outlining how El Paso County Legislators voted on the bills we took positions on.
