Rally to Save Our Great Salt Lake

We're back at the Capitol for a Rally to Save Our Great Salt Lake! Mark your calendar for Saturday, January 25 at 2 pm.

The record 2023-2024 water years have given us some room to breathe, but we're just one dry year away from being back at Great Salt Lake's historic low. Our legislature has declared a moratorium on new major water legislation this year as Great Salt Lake has fallen on their list of priorities. Stand with us on January 25th and make it clear that Utahns demand a healthy Great Salt Lake.

Join the swell of community members coming together to protect our namesake lake and our future in the Salt Lake Valley. The capacity and commitment we continue to build is what will carry this work long term, and we need your voice!
