The recent reporting on widespread racism in the Davis School District is not just a wake up call to all Utahns, but the direct result of the legacy we have fostered by leaving racism unchecked, ignored, and accepted. Now is the time to take action.
We at Voices are committed and prepared to speak up and to work with other organizations to create a Utah where all residents regardless of race, creed, color, sexual orientation, or status can live free of hatred, racism, and bigotry.
Here are some of the ways you can help support the actions we are currently working on:
- Support our 100% Kids Coverage Campaign to help strengthen healthcare access for Utah families regardless of where they live or where they were born by sharing your story on health coverage here.
- Learn more about current Juvenile Justice issues disproportionately impacting youth of color in our state.
- Submit a comment on the proposed DACA rule to ask the Biden Administration to strengthen the DACA program rather than leaving it open to the possibility of removing workers permits to the hundreds of thousands of DACA recipients in this country.
- Read why we are pushing to get access to full day kindergarten for all Utah kids.
