Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Our mission is to connect residents in the Pikes Peak Region of Colorado to provide information about local and state government especially where that information may impact them financially. Lack of access to timely information leaves people disenfranchised and woefully underserved. We accomplish this by publishing weekly Newsletters informing citizens on FaceBook and other social media.
