Hello John ,
Nat Williams here, Stewardship Utah’s Democracy Policy Associate, with some disturbing legislative updates.
You might’ve already heard that the Utah State Legislature is calling a rushed special session tomorrow evening to create a constitutional amendment to restrict ballot initiatives – barely one month after the Utah Supreme Court unanimously ruled to protect our fundamental constitutional right to reform our government through the initiative process.
We, along with the rest of the Let Utah Vote Coalition, are rallying our supporters to show our legislators that restricting our fundamental right to reform our government is unacceptable. We need your voice to stop this extreme effort to silence Utahns. Join us tomorrow (8/21) evening at 4:45 PM in the Senate and House galleries on the 4th floor. Signs are not permitted.
Let us know you'll be there! [[link removed]]
If you are unable to join us in person, please reach out to your legislators and let them know that you do not support this undermining of our right to reform our government.

Here are some talking points for speaking with your legislator:
*
We
oppose
the
Utah
Legislature’s
attempt
to
override
the
Utah
Supreme
Court’s
unanimous
decision
by
attempting
to
amend
our
constitution.
*
Utahns
have
a
constitutional
right
to
reform
our
government,
and
we
oppose
the
Utah
Legislature
taking
that
away.
*
These
efforts
go
against
our
country’s
founding
principles
of
balanced
powers
and
checks
and
balances.
We cannot stop this alone. Your voice is critical in preventing this power grab. Thank you for joining us in person tomorrow and taking the time to contact your legislators. Please encourage your friends and family to do the same.
Onward,
