CORE values
Several core values guide Utah Overpass Action's activity:
Non-Violence - In the spirit of social justice heroes like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the Dalai Lama, we strictly utilize peaceful methods only. We believe that violence is never the answer, and that political differences can only be effectively resolved via peacefuil dialogue.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - We believe that diversity is strength, that equity is critical to achieving social justice, and that inclusivity makes America great. We are committed to fighting discrimination, and advocating for Utah communities that have been historically marginalized, including immigrants, refugees, people of color, persons with disabilities, and members of the Native, LGBTQ+, and low-income communities.
Patriotism - We deeply love our country, and believe peaceful protest against injustice is fundamentally American and patriotic. By protesting against Trump administration and GOP policies that hurt the American people and workers, we aim to help our country and its government become more effective, just, equitable, and inclusive for ALL Americans.
Inclusive Leadership - We practice inclusive and democratic methods to determine the organization's operations, messaging, and direction.
