IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Education/Advocacy Citizens Project runs ongoing programs to educate the community and advocate for our values. We watchdog local government and public schools to ensure that equality, diversity, and separation of church and state are being upheld. Programming is responsive to current events and seeks to localize issues of national importance. Activities range from hosting panel discussions or film screenings to urging local elected officials to uphold laws that protect equality. The Activist Network alerts citizens to speak out in a timely way on legislation at the state and local level. Publication of Legislative Report Card informs the community of how they are represented on issues that reflect their values. Over fifty "table captains" invite guests to learn about Citizens Project's efforts in the community and enjoy a meal together. It is also a fundraising event and as the end of the program, guests are invited to invest in the cause by making a donation.
