The Active Citizen Project (ACP) is a
2004 U.S. presidential election. Throughout the United States, ACP engages high school students in internet activism using art and new media
.
Background
The organization serves as a catalyst and laboratory for people-generated activism that uses
Farmers’ Alliance
movement of the late 1800s.
The organization is most well known for its Open Caucus (OC) program. OC is an activity that engages
high school students in creating social change in their communities using art and new media and engages them in internet activism, connecting them with a global network of actions taking place worldwide. In 2007, ACP worked in Colorado Springs to produce a community art exhibit.[1] Since its inception in 2004, over 5600 students in 28 cities have participated in OC. In December 2007, ACP brought 19 OC students and 9 teachers from 9 different cities to Des Moines, Iowa to create a documentary film
on the Heartland Presidential Forum.
