To the haunting backdrop of chants like “Medals can’t be won, with metals in our lungs” and “Light the torch and feed the flames, save the lake – stop playing games,” youth came together to make their priorities clear. They demanded immediate and decisive action to protect our communities and restore the Great Salt Lake before the 2034 Olympics come to town.

“This isn’t just about water–this is about our communities, our livelihoods, our futures.” said Kitty Chamberlain, age 16. “We don’t have to accept this as our fate. We have to hold our legislators accountable.”

Thank you to everyone who joined our Apocolympics Opening Ceremony. We look forward to continuing the fight for the Great Salt Lake with you 🥇📣
