Hundreds of Utah's nonprofits are ready to receive support in areas like education, housing, mental health, animal welfare, the arts, and so much more.
Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.
Speaking about the Utah 2034 Olympic Winter Games, Olympic champion (speed skating) @ErinJackson480 told the IOC membership: "In Utah, athletes are supported not just by facilities, but by people."
Listen in to why she believes this culture matters, for @utah2034 👇

I've washed my car and still no significant snow. Utah, either we all need to wash our cars simultaneously & then do a little snow dance, or maybe the snow gods are telling us something about being good custodians of the environment? Either way, it is time for winter! @SkiUtah

We can agree, disagree, and agree to disagree. We can't do any of this without a free exchange of ideas (and a little love & grace). Please push back against banning books. #utpol@UtahLibraries#BannedBooksWeek@LetUtahRead
UT has banned ANOTHER book by a female author: Damsel by Elana K. Arnold. And now t's not only illegal for schools to have it on the shelf, it's illegal for students to have such literary contraband on their person at school! Take action today at: letutahread.org/usbeban
(1/3) Missed the vote by mail voter registration deadline? Still hoping to vote in the General Election? Utah allows same-day voter registration & voting. Here’s what you need to know:
Took a while to research the judges (the @UtahJPEC is helpful but only part of the story), but my ballot is signed, sealed & delivered. Do your due diligence, vote based on the facts, and get the ballot in!
It's that time of year. Those of us who know how lucky we are can also, at times, feel that the world is too much with us. I am grateful for @KatmaiNPS webcam explore.org/livecams. While you know your vote counts this Nov., it also counts here and now explore.org/fat-bear-week
