“Over”: Citizens Project launches provocative campaign
You might have already seen our brightly colored billboards all over town! Citizens Project recently launched the 2015 awareness campaign, "Over."

So, what do YOU believe in?
We are grateful for the generosity of Lunchbucket Creative, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, and the Colorado Springs Independent for making this possible.
Citizens Project Mid-Year Update

Citizens Project’s Awareness Campaign Makes a Splash on Reddit
If you’re a fan of Reddit, you may have seen a thread on Citizens Project’s most recent billboard campaign. Reddit users were quite interested in a picture someone took of one of our billboards. While the billboard may have caused the original poster some confusion, there was much discussion about campaign.
To clarify, we would like to say that the purpose of this campaign was two-fold: to demonstrate where we are, where we're going, and what our role is, and to stimulate conversation. Thus, we consider the discussion on Reddit a success; we are excited to have people interested in Citizens Project and, more importantly, the direction of ...
