Protecting your rights means protecting everyone’s. When elected officials threaten one group’s rights, everyone’s freedom is at risk, including those you care about. When “We The People” participate in our democracy, we’re doing what’s right. Because we fought to win to the end, we defeated many harmful bills that targeted our rights, freedoms, and constitutional protections. Each message, call, and testimony builds power, turning into the many victories we had this session.
People across Utah sent messages to lawmakers on these 9 bills with the ACLU of Utah:
This session, over 600 new people responded to ACLU of Utah requests to take action, and over 700 people returned to take action again this year. Collectively, we sent 1,570 messages to lawmakers and the Governor.
The issue that action takers cared most about this year was participatory democracy and voting rights.
