Action Utah is making a big transition – we are becoming a part of Better Utah!
After four years empowering Utahns to get civically engaged, Action Utah is making a big change – our work is moving to the Better Utah Institute!
Action Utah and the Better Utah Institute share a common mission to inform the public and grow civic engagement. Both organizations believe in the power of people and the difference they can make in their communities when they’re engaged in the democratic process. By combining resources, we aim to create a more robust single organization under the Better Utah banner that is dedicated to a unified vision for engaged Utahns and a government that hears them.
