League of Women Voters of Utah

League of Women Voters of Utah and advocacy. https://linktr.ee/lwvutah We do this at all three levels of government, engaging in both broad educational efforts as well as advocacy.

The League is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of public policy issues, and influences public policy through educ. The League of Women Voters is a citizens’ organization that has fought since 1920 to improve our government and engage all citizens in the decisions that impact their lives. We operate

at national, state and local levels through more than 800 state and local Leagues, in all 50 states as well in Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Hong Kong. Formed from the movement that secured the right to vote for women, the centerpiece of the League’s efforts remain to expand participation in the political process and give a voice to all Americans. Our issues are grounded in our respected history of making democracy work for all citizens. The League is nonpartisan, which means we don’t support or oppose candidates for public office. However, we are well known for hosting candidate debates and forums. We undertake this, and other important election work, because we believe deeply that the public should hear different views on the issues facing our communities and our nation. An honest and respectful sharing of ideas is vital to the functioning of American democracy. Leagues at all levels conduct educational activities – whether they are related to understanding candidate views and ballot initiatives, or on a range of specific critical public policy issues. At the national level, the League of Women Voters Education Fund, a 501 (c )(3) organization, coordinates all of our elections and educational work. But being nonpartisan does not mean we lack opinions, or the willingness to express them. Our opinions are formed after research, study and consensus. We are passionate advocates – both women and men – who work to influence policy on specific issues by speaking out and putting pressure on our elected leaders. The League is a national organization, with strong and respected ties in states and localities around the country. Members are volunteers who work in their communities to help the realities of the America system of government live up to its ideals.

No effect on Utah!

Today’s SCOTUS decision has no effect on Utah. A nationwide injunction against the USPS mail ballot rule stemming from a different lawsuit remains in place for now. We expect an updated ruling in that lawsuit on Wednesday. In the meantime, Attorney General Brown and I are in close communication as his office works through all our legal options. I assure all Utah voters that they will be defended. We will run a secure election in accordance with state and federal law.

Utah’s Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms, while also giving the Legislature authority to “define the lawful use of arms.”
Meanwhile, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services states that “fi***rm injuries are a serious public health problem.”
So here’s the question: Is Utah doing enough to prevent fi***rm injuries and deaths while still protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners?
It seems like we should be able to have an honest conversation about both.
Follow as we continue to read through the Utah Constitution.
