“It’s the way things should be run' - The Utah Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a major lawsuit about Utah’s Congressional redistricting process on Tuesday. On Saturday, people protested in an unusual way in support of the lawsuit MythiliGubbi
The area of 2000 East and 3900 South in Millcreek is close to where all four Utah congressional districts come together. That’s why people marched, walked and ran to make their voices heard, asking for what they call would be fairer districts.
“To see some of the erosion of voting rights in Utah with the gerrymandering, I felt I needed to do something to take a stand,” said Caroline Gleich, a professional ski mountaineer and activist. She hosted the event to help the groups and people that filed the lawsuit. Some criticize the new lines for grouping communities that have different needs, in the same district. “The Navajo Nation is in San Juan county…which shares the same representation at someone in Provo. Their voice becomes more diluted,”said Leah Gishie, an indigenous activist.
