Protesters gathered at Utah's Capitol to oppose federal land reductions and lawsuits over public lands.

Hundreds of protesters gathered at Utah's State Capitol on January 11, 2025, to oppose potential reductions to national monuments and state-led lawsuits aiming to control federal lands. The event, organized by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, featured speeches from local leaders and highlighted concerns over the protection of public lands like Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Advocates argue these efforts are part of a "land grab" that undermines the preservation of natural and sacred sites.
