A group of demonstrators gathered outside the Utah State Capitol Saturday afternoon to make their voices heard in support of public health orders and mask mandates.
Those who spoke included doctors, activists and parents — but it was students and teachers who took center stage.
"We're just really grateful for the voices that have spoken up today, for the people who have come and contributed," said Chris Phillips, a co-founder of Utah Concerned Coalition."There are people here who are interested in protecting our kids and protecting our communities and making sure that we can keep our community open and moving forward.
"Children have lost parents. They've lost aunts and uncles. They've lost grandparents," Gatrell added."And I know that because they're missing school for these funerals."
