60 leaders. 3 days. One goal: show up for working people.
In Golden, CO, UTST + @HoosierAction brought together organizers, elected officials, labor reps, and faith leaders from rural communities across the country - because the challenges facing everyday people are too big to tackle alone.
We left with a clearer path forward. Together.
Utah's Targeted Adult Medicaid program has given continuous coverage to some of the most vulnerable people in the state since 2017.
Now federal officials are pulling the plug on the waiver that makes it possible.

The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed. "Not a budget cut. Not a policy shift. Not a 'reorganization.' An execution."

We spent last week in Wyoming meeting face-to-face with folks we first connected with through the Rural Listening Project!
From the Shoshoni Senior Center to conversations with local leaders and union members, the goal was simple: keep the conversations going and turn them into real steps forward for rural communities.
Working families in places like Provo are already stretched thin. When Medicaid gets cut, the cost doesnβt disappear β it lands on local hospitals, police, and taxpayers.
Worth a read from Provoβs mayor on what these cuts would mean for communities like hers:

We packed the room AND the steps.
Utah families are working hard β but groceries, housing, and everyday bills keep climbing. At Stronger Utah: Day at the Capitol, lawmakers stood shoulder to shoulder with labor & community leaders to talk real solutions that help working people get ahead.
Coffee. Strategy. Action. Keeping Utah affordable for the folks who make this state run. πͺ #StrongerUtah

Utah was built on hard work, family, and community. But too many of us are being priced out of the places we call home.

New legislation shows why Utah needs a real prevailing wage for construction work. This article highlights how uneven pay on public projects hurts workers who are just trying to support their families.
Every tradesperson deserves fair, reliable wages for the skilled work they do every day. π οΈ

πΊπΈ The 2025 American Family Survey shows something Americans across the political spectrum feel: raising a family and building a stable future is getting harder. From the cost of housing to child care to everyday essentials, families are feeling the squeeze.

Our growing coalition of Utah workers, lawmakers, and small-business leaders is pushing hard for a prevailing-wage policy on all publicly funded construction. Itβs not just about higher pay β itβs about building strong local careers, keeping tax dollars in our communities, and investing in quality from the ground up.
Rep. Tyler Clancy is backing legislation to set βarea-standardβ wages in public contracts, making sure Utahns donβt undercut their own workforce. This could level the playing field for local contractors, support middle-class jobs, and prevent a race-to-the-bottom.

We had a great time talking with local leaders and community members at the Siouxland Summit last week! Thanks to all who made this important convening happen.
