• Organized protests and community forums to oppose increases in bus fare and raise the concerns of low income bus riders. these efforts have helped to slow down, and sometimes
  stop, increases in the price of bus fare.
  

• Organized several press conferences, rallies and other events to preserve Medicaid funding. These efforts have led to millions of dollars in Medicaid Funding, being preserved.

• Created an exhibit of photos showing what it is like to work for less than $7 per hour in Utah that we displayed at the State Capitol during the 2006 legislative session.
  
• Held an annual July barbeque social and Holiday party, allowing members to come together at least twice a year to celebrate the organization and their contributions.
  
• Organized events highlighting the need to reduce the red tape faced by Food Stamp recipients. One of these events was the Food Stamp Challenge, at which the Executive Director of the Department of Workforce Services failed to fill out a food stamp application within 15 minutes. As a result of this, the food stamp application was shortened and simplified.

In all of these activities we attempt to ensure that low income individuals have a voice in the decision making process as advocates for themselves.
