What We Do
The Action Utah Way
OUR MANDATE
The reality is that both here in Utah and across the nation, a majority of us agree on most issues. At Action Utah we seek to bring people together to find common ground on the issues in order to arrive at solutions that represent the beliefs and needs of more people.
Action Utah works on the issues that data shows a majority of Utahns care about most and takes the stance of the majority on those issues. Our data sources include Dan Jones and Associates, Envision Utah, Hinckley Institute, Utah Foundation, Kem C. Gardner Institute, and Utah Policy.
