Dailey Haren of Save Moab on the grassroots movement to save 180 acres in the King’s Bottom floodplain.

  • READ: Petition Against Kane Creek Development

  • Sept. 12: Save Kane Creek Benefit Concert, 6:00-10:00 p.m. at Fisher Brewing Co., 320 W. 800 S., SLC. Event by kanecreek_development_watch: "Three amazing bands have volunteered their time and talents to bring us all together for an unforgettable evening — @trashmooncollective, @jrad_cooley_band @queenstreet.band (they all love this area just as much as we do!). The cover is sliding scale, and we will be featuring a huge lineup of art and local goods/services for a silent auction, a raffle, and guest speakers. Our goal is to make enough money to cover our upcoming fight to take away KCPD’s bad water rights they are trying to use to push this horrendous development through. Our case is strong and we are excited to make it happen."

University of Utah law professor Amos Guiora on the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas war. Guiora is writing a new book, "Enablers Across the Ages: Normalizing the Unimaginable” (American Bar Association, 2025).

EntheoMagus will be screened on Friday as part of the Utah Fungi Fest. RadioACTive gets a preview from the filmmakers: Bryce Blankenagel and Alex Criddle (researchers); and Brandon Crockett (co-producer, director).

  • Sept. 6: EntheoMagus at the Utah Fungi Fest, 7:00 p.m. @ Second Summit Cider, 4010 S. Main St., Millcreek. Panel with filmmakers after the screening. Must be 21. "EntheoMagus is a groundbreaking documentary unearthing the role psychedelics played in the establishment of the Mormon religion. From laced sacramental wines to a peyote-peddling prophet, this revolutionary research rewrites the generally acknowledged history."

Sema Hadithi African American Heritage and Culture Foundation is getting ready for its annual Ancestral Remembrance & History Conference. RadioACTive talks about this year's presentations with founders Robert and Alice Burch and conference presenter and architectural historian Chris Jensen. (Check out Jensen's podcast, Demolished Places).

  • Sept. 10: Tell the Story: The History of Drag in Utah 1871 to Present, 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Signature Books, 508 W. 400 N., SLC. Event by Sema Hadithi African American Heritage and Culture Foundation: "As part of our COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD theme for our 2024 Tell the Story Black History Weekend, we are holding this FREE event: TELL THE STORY: THE HISTORY OF DRAG IN UTAH 1871 TO PRESENT. Did you know that Drag has existed in Utah since 1871? As a precursor to our Tell the Story Black History Conference on Saturday, September 14, we'll explore its influence on and connection to the Black American Community. Join us as the light is cast upon the widespread presence of Drag in Utah, its acceptance, and its changes through the years."

  • Sept. 13: Ancestral Remembrance Celebration & Recognition Dinner: Community & Neighborhood, 6:00-9:00 p.m. at Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center, 2525 Taylorsville Rd., Taylorsville. Event by Sema Hadithi African American Heritage and Culture Foundation: "Each year the evening prior to our Tell the Story Black History Conference, we hold our Ancestral Remembrance Celebration & Recognition Dinner. This year our theme is COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD. At this event, we teach Black American culture, because this culture has gone overlooked and many people think that Black Americans do not have a culture. WHO are Black Americans? We are called "Black Americans" and "African Americans". We are the descendants of those who were brought to the U.S. to be enslaved and who stayed and created a culture and community that they passed down to us and that today we still enjoy. A culture rich in delicious food, dress style, hairstyle, music, and dance."

  • Sept. 14: Tell the Story Black History Conference: Community & Neighborhood, 10-a-4p at Mid-Valley Performing Arts Center, 2525 Taylorsville Rd., Taylorsville. Event by Sema Hadithi African American Heritage and Culture Foundation: "For our 9th Annual Tell the Story Black History Conference, our theme is COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD in which we will explore community and neighborhood through the lens of Utah's Black history. How did Black Americans achieve community within a mostly White American state during the 1930s and 1940s? What were Black American neighborhoods like and what constituted them? Last year we changed from our "break-out session" style to a "single room presentation" style in which all attendees remained together for each of the five presentations. Each topic will be presented with time for attendees to ask questions and for there to be a discussion."
