March for life Utah underway at the state Capitol #utpol#utleg
The event put on by March For Life Utah, Pro-Life Utah and Abortion Free Utah aims to “peacefully and powerfully bring awareness to the millions of lives that have been lost since the passage of Roe v. Wade exactly 49 years ago.”
Part of keynote speaker @nickvujicic’s message to the crowd, several hounded strong:
Along with members of the pro-life contingent, today’s #MarchForLife also drew pro-Trump, anti-vaxx and Secure Vote Utah supporters #utpol#roe49
A bagpiper leads the group on a march around the Capitol grounds #utleg
Event is winding down with no incidents to report. A state trooper I spoke with told me he estimated today’s crowd to be around 500.

A colossal "Dump Trump" message greets @VP as he returns to downtown Salt Lake City's Hotel Monaco. The video projection on the heavily guarded grounds, I'm told, was pulled off by a crew of local guerrilla activists #VPDebate#utpol
Make that a lone wolf. "I was, like, 'you know what would be real fun? I've got those projectors. I've wanted to do projections for a while.’ Vice presidential debate—why not?” the display's author, Collin Williams tells me #VPDebate#utpol
The creation, which Williams originally intended for the outside @UUtah's Kingsbury Hall, transitioned from the "Dump Trump" message to another displaying the current number of COVID deaths in the country with the intent to call out the administration's "lack of action,” he said
