Throughout 2025, UTST will be strengthening their nonpartisan base and coalition of local stakeholders prepared and eager to defend the historic federal investments flowing into their communities.

UTST is a multi-year organizing and power building initiative in the Upper Mid- and Mountain WestIntermountain West. We connect community-identified priorities with accountability campaigns that ensure the hundreds of billions of federal dollars flowing into these regions are equitably deployed and that the projects they fund are successfully implemented. We believe this moment requires deep community engagement at scale across our project areas. Our goal is to restore the belief that public institutions, government, and Democracy can solve some of the biggest challenges of the day. We do that by delivering concrete benefits and community improvements to our members through campaigns that ensure government funds are used for local priorities.
