Mormon Women for Ethical Government

The Utah Legislature has asked the Utah Supreme Court to block a recent lower court ruling that threw out the state’s current congressional map. Plaintiffs in the case called the petition “jarring irony.”

“The people have spoken. The courts have spoken,” said Emma Petty Addams, co-executive director of Mormon Women for Ethical Government. “Now is time to move forward with cooperation and respect for the rule of law.”

Over 200 volunteers flew to the capitol to help sew quilts together and deliver them to Congress. Mormon Women for Ethical Government and Women Building Peace delivered around 60 quilts.

Mormon Women for Ethical Government jump-started an effort in Utah to create quilts with personalized messages from women about protecting democracy. They will be hand- delivered to Utah’s congressional delegation in May.
