Active Citizen Project

The Active Citizen Project (ACP) is a New York City-based non-profit organization founded in 2003 by filmmaker Linda Goode Bryant in response to the 2004 U.S. presidential election.

[1] Throughout the United States, ACP engages high school students in internet activism using art and new media.

The organization serves as a catalyst and laboratory for people-generated activism that uses art and new media as tools for social change.

According to its website, the goal of its projects is "for people to act on their own behalf for political and social change that ensures their human rights and mutual well-being."

In December 2007, ACP brought 19 OC students and nine teachers from nine different cities to Des Moines, Iowa to create a documentary film on the Heartland Presidential Forum.
