HISTORY

Citizens in Charge was founded in 2001 with the goal of spreading the citizen initiative and referendum process to additional US states. But CIC has been far more successful lobbying to improve access to direct democracy and litigating to overturn unconstitutional impediments legislators enact to block access to the process.
