Community lobbyists help influence and encourage state legislators to implement community-centered solutions to Utah’s biggest environmental threats. As a community lobbyist with HEAL, you will share your perspective on legislative policy regarding clean energy, air quality, and radioactive waste with your elected representatives.
HEAL Utah’s policy team monitors and actively participates in every step of the legislative process on our three main issues (clean air, clean energy, and radioactive waste).
Community Lobbyists (that’s you!) are called in when we see an opportunity for the public to provide feedback and voice their concerns or support on proposed legislation. Our team preps fact sheets + talking points and is here to help you contact your lawmakers.
Lawmakers only have 45 days to vote on many issues, and most of the time, they don’t have all the information needed to make an informed decision on legislation. By providing your perspective on an issue, you could be the one voice to sway a lawmaker to vote in support of or against a critical piece of legislation.
HEAL Utah hosts lobbying training every Tuesday + Thursday during the entire legislative session. You can sign up by filling out the form down below.

Together we know the impact our collective efforts have on our local community, the greater state of Utah, and the nation as a whole. So, it’s imperative that we reflect on all the hard work that our many dedicated volunteers, determined lobbyists, and generous donors contributed to our numerous efforts this past year.
Now that our lawmakers have had a few months to recover from this year’s General Session, they are gearing up for their first interim session meeting of the year. Not sure what the interim session is? Wondering how you can get involved? No worries! We’re here to explain what you should know about Utah’s interim sessions.
