NEW! What And Where Is The Utah Criminal Intelligence (Fusion) Center? - April 2008 Please take some time to explore our *new website. We also highly encourage you to visit our old site* which can still be seen under the menu item "Archives" -- as it contains the last ten years of our research and work (from 1997 to early December 2007). Items on the old and new site can be located using the search box on the top of each page. About Us Founded in 1997 to provide information and advocacy on issues of social and economic justice, the Citizens Education Project has spearheaded successful campaigns to stop privatization of prisons and prison medical services in Utah, led efforts to block the disposal of nuclear wastes at Yucca Mountain in Nevada and in Utah, exposed Utah's participation in the data-mining MATRIX program and forced the state's withdrawal from MATRIX, and plays a leading role in preventing the resumption of nuclear weapons testing. Recently our efforts have been focused on the ever contentious issue of water in the west and the conservation and allocation of this precious resource. CEP CEP is the only consistent watchdog and critic of programs and activities at the U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (also see our Archive page), the nation's primary test and evaluation facility for chemical and biological defense work. CEP proposes to continue monitoring of Dugway's planned massive expansions of chemical and biological agent testing, exposing environmental impact statements and assessments creating new bio-labs and new field tests, and push for greater state oversight of Dugway's projects. CEP also monitors the Utah's use of federal bio-terrorism funding, networks with allied organizations regionally and nationally, and files Freedom of Information Act requests as appropriate, as well as disseminating information through the press, with distribution of flyers and information packets, and through our website. CEP Mission The Citizens Education Project works to create a more just and equitable society by educating citizens on issues of social and economic justice and fostering public policies that promote the common good.
