Did you know that dangerous toxins exist in the bed of some lakes, with the water above it protecting us from exposure? It’s true – and as some of these lakes dry up, these deadly substances are released into the air, where the deadly dust poisons nearby communities.

That is the case with the Great Salt Lake in Utah. But not all people are being exposed and sickened equally. Instead, Latinx and Pacific Islander communities are being poisoned at a much higher rate.

But there is a way to tackle this. The drying-up of the lake is primarily due to large factory farms and mining operations siphoning off water. The state of Utah must ban this usage, and also invest in better infrastructure.

Please sign this petition to urge Utah to ban corporations from stealing water from residents and invest in improved infrastructure.
