(SALT LAKE CITY, UT) — Last night, Alliance for a Better Utah, Elevate Utah, and others hosted a letter-writing event to remind Senator Lee who he works for: Utahns. There were over 550 people in attendance from across the state who wrote over 2,000 letters. The issues ranged from public lands to Senator Lee’s spread of disinformation to his appalling comments about the Minnesota tragedy.
“People are hungry for community,” said Taylor Knuth, Executive Director of Alliance for a Better Utah. “There isn’t just frustration, but a hunger to do something. Last night reminded folks they are not alone. People wrote letters, not just venting online. This is about building power in a thoughtful and respectful way. Everyone at this event last night, and even more not attending, love this state, and are frustrated with the direction it is going.”
Alliance for a Better Utah, along with other partners, will be hosting more of these events across the state and continue to create community to truly make a better Utah.
