I live in Summit County. Want to highlight that this bill passing into law (as well as the one that nullified the OSHA mandate in Utah) was born of the hard work of our local health freedom movement. I haven’t been at the center of it but know the folks who are and I’m deeply grateful for their work. They helped draft both bills. Then they sent out alerts that made it possible for me to send emails and texts to our elected representatives and then on to others who I knew would do the same. Yes, we have a lot of Republicans at the Capitol who are more likely to vote for this, but they still need pressure from the people. Especially in the face of all the blue-tech money moving into the state and clearly using persuasion with Governor Cox.
Many of those folks are California refugees. We all cut or refined our political organizing chops fighting the grotesque overreach of California Democrats that began with their mandatory vaccination bills in 2015. Meanwhile in California the evil continues and grows as they introduce bills to give 12 year olds the option of getting medical treatments with no parental involvement.
This is a multi-layered fight. We need people who will show up at the legislature and people who will, en masse, let our reps know what we think.
You could join Summit County Health Freedom and/or ask them about an affiliate group in SLC. I do minimal social media and stay in touch with them through their email list and go to some in-person meetings. https://summitcountyfreedom.com
Thanks- I just got suspended from Nextdoor so I am off all social media but I am sure there is a lot of weeping and wailing and pearl-clutching in my neighborhood regarding the legislature.

I am in Salt Lake. How do I contact a Health Freedom movement? ( I suppose this means this means rejoining Pfacebook?)

Ugh. How did SLC get so woke? It's awful.
