Terry Foust, Community Health Director and Intermountain Healthcare, talked about the non-profit hospital group’s efforts to reach people experiencing homelessness during the pandemic. From mobile testing to hospital stays and meals while processing tests, Intermountain is providing all services are being provided at no cost as part of its community stewardship.

Alex Samuel of the PSL Salt Lake - Party for Socialism and Liberation on Saturday’s national day of car protests to demand #CancelTheRents. The group’s single demand is the cancellation of all rents, mortgages for homeowners, small landlords and small businesses for the duration of the pandemic.

  • “While we and society recognize the First Amendment and the exercise of First Amendment rights as essential, our April 25, 2020 “Cancel the Rents” car caravan will practice the socially responsible regulations outlined in the county-wide “stay-at-home” executive order, including physical distancing and mask-wearing. We believe that we must act now to defend the essential right of all people to housing during and after the COVID-19 crisis.”

Amy May of TreeUtah, which is celebrating Arbor Day. In fact, her group is helping to fulfill the Spring of Hope Family Tree Giveaway to get trees planted in yards on SLC’s west side. It’s a partnership with SLC Mayor Mendenhall and Ivory Green. To find out more, click here.
