⚠️ URGENT: Show up for the Central Wasatch Commiss ⚠️ URGENT: Show up for the Central Wasatch Commission.

Sandy City Council is voting to cut their CWC funding — this Tuesday, June 16th at 5:15pm.

This isn’t just a budget line. The funding cut puts the Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area Act at risk — a once-in-a-generation bill that needs every seat at the table.

If Sandy pulls their funding, they effectively remove themselves from the Central Wasatch Commission.

📍 Attend the Sandy City Council meeting and submit a public comment opposing this cut.
