Rally to Save Our Great Salt Lake

Thank you for joining us at the Rally to Save Our Great Salt Lake, on Saturday, January 20th, at 3 pm on the south steps of the Utah State Capitol! Our legislature has taken important steps to protect the lake in recent years, but we need to see bolder action in 2024 to match the urgency and severity of this crisis.

It’s going to take a groundswell of continuous community pressure to hold our decision-makers accountable, and we need your voice!

Keep Vigil with Great Salt Lake

From January 16th- March 1st 2024, we kept vigil for Great Salt Lake outside the Utah State Capitol. Thank you for helping us demonstrate the love for Great Salt Lake and celebrate all the species she sustains!

Each morning from 8-9 am we Walked with the Waves around the Capitol in silence; each evening from 5-6 pm we made some joyful noise and Celebrated the Lake Species with puppets built by many members of the lake-facing community. In this way, we made our great love visible every Monday-Friday throughout the entire legislative session. Thank you for joining us for one day of the vigil or every day you showed up!
