Alliance for a Better Utah is a nonprofit that holds politicians accountable and advocates for progressive policies that make Utah an even better place.

You already know us for our annual Progress Report that tracks how state legislators vote on issues that matter to Utah progressives. Now, we’re bringing that same easily digestible evaluation to Washington. Every quarter, we’ll track how Utah’s congressional delegation is representing you—their key votes, their statements, and whether their work reflects Utah values.

We believe information is power, and this report is designed to empower you. Read it, share it with your neighbors, discuss it over a beverage with friends. We hope it sparks conversation, questions and action for your community.

Join Us In Holding President Adams Accountable For His Actions

Sign the Petition

Last year, President Adams used his position of power to influence a backroom change in the law to benefit a family member who had been accused of a crime so that the teenager received a lighter punishment.

This is a slippery slope: If the Senate President wields his power for personal favors without consequences, what other behavior will be excused because of a Legislator’s position of power?

We deserve accountability from President Adams for his actions and stronger ethics laws.

SAlt Lake City "City Flags" For Sale

This is (Not) A Pride Flag

The proceeds of all (not) pride flags go to support local queer community organizations in Utah.

Introducing the “Belonging” Pride Flag – a protest flag born in Salt Lake City.

What makes this beauty special? It’s the exact design adopted by the Salt Lake City Council on May 6, 2025 that used a loophole in the pride flag ban bill (HB 77) to show solidarity with marginalized communities and protest the Utah Legislature’s malicious law that made Utah the first state in the county to ban pride flags in schools and government property.

Thanks to the strategically placed Salt Lake sego lily emblem, this is NOT a pride flag (wink, wink)—it’s an OFFICIAL MUNICIPAL FLAG that can legally grace any building in Salt Lake City.
