This Saturday, very nice weather for a change ! This is a very important protest with multiple local speakers and activists followed by a march up to the capitol and back down to the square. Please please please show up for this one even if you don't/can't march.
This is a peaceful protest ! Please do NOT physically engage with the counter protesters but feel free to exercise your free speech while you have it ! Stay safe out there !
We will meet in Washington Square Park at 1 PM for speeches from six incredible Latino/Hispanic speakers. After the final speech, we will march to the Utah State Capitol and back to Washington Square Park. We hope to see you there!"

A request was made by /u/Emergency_Garlic_713 to contact Governor Cox for HB 267 (the union bill):
Here is a link to send a message to Gov. Caillou (Cox). https://cs.utah.gov/s/submit
Please reach out and ask him to veto HB 267. If he doesn't, the next step is for all public workers to bring this state to its knees. People will literally get hurt when there is no 911 or firefighters. We don't want to have to do this. Most of us would be fine with how things are currently (with a union). But if we can't have nice things, the rest of you can't either.
