A submissin to citizen report.

 

Meeting today. Got this email.

 

URGENT!

Currently, men are being allowed in women’s safe spaces, including locker rooms, in Salt Lake County Recreation Centers.

Watch a video of one woman’s experience by clicking here.

Salt Lake County Council member, Dea Theodore, has proposed a policy to require patrons to use the locker room that corresponds to their birth sex.

Read the full text of the proposed policy here.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET THIS PASSED!

Testify in support this of ordinance. We need as many people as possible who live in Salt Lake County to show up and testify to let the Salt Lake County Council know that you do not want men using women’s locker rooms to shower and change with your daughters.

  • There will be 2 opportunities for public comment
    • Tuesday, 12/5 at 12:30 pm
    • Tuesday, 12/12 (time TBA)

County Government Center – North Building Room N2-200,
2001 South State Street,
Salt Lake City, UT

Email your County Council members to let them know that you support this ordinance protecting women’s safe spaces. You can email the entire council at council@slco.org. You can also find your specific council members email addresses here.

  • Your message can be as simple as telling them that you support the ordinance that requires people to use the locker room that corresponds to their birth sex at Salt Lake County’s taxpayer-funded recreation centers.
  • Feel free to be more specific and tell them the reasons you support this bill:
    • I don’t want my wife, sister or daughter to have to shower with men;
    • This is a safety issue for women because of the potential for sexual assault when you allow men into women’s locker rooms; or
    • Some other personal experience you have had with the issue.

Just last night, in Fillmore, Utah, I had an experience with a man coming out of the stall in the woman’s restroom! I was shocked, disturbed, and above all, I felt violated. My private space, which should have been protected for women, was openly disregarded.

We need YOU to come fill the room TOMORROW at 12:30 p.m. and voice your support of the proposed ordinance.
