What was originally billed as a walk turned into a rally and then a protest in Salt Lake City on Mother’s Day, when more than 300 people showed up at an event sponsored by the Utah Alliance regarding the current hot button issue of Roe vs Wade and its supposedly pending repeal by the Supreme Court.

As you can see, some of the signs provided some “strong” opinions. A few pro-life folks showed up, but a UHP presence eliminated any potential conflict.

  • Public Homeless Campers in Salt Lake City Will Be Seeing More Police Presence

    Public camping on the Jordan River Parkway Trail in Salt Lake City has become a contentious issue, balancing the needs of homeless individuals with the preservation of public space. Despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to enforce anti-camping laws, the humanitarian crisis persists. Tammy and her husband, unable to find housing, live near the river.

    Solutions Utah, led by Dale Keller, addresses homelessness through policy advocacy and clean-up efforts. Keller’s team initiated large-scale clean-ups in 2005, removing tons of garbage. Campers often receive minimal notice to vacate, despite rules requiring 48-hour warnings.

    Tammy shares concerns about crime and insufficient support, desiring a sanctioned campground with basic facilities and security. While Keller supports this idea, bureaucratic resistance hinders progress. As enforcement increases elsewhere, the future for Salt Lake City’s homeless remains uncertain.
