Utah · Self-Determination
On a fair ballot, Utah is within reach of a majority.
There is no organized movement for Utah self-determination yet. That is exactly what we are here to change.
Utahadults in Utah would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 46% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 375,000 (16%). How we get this number →

More than the whole of Qatar. A nation-sized population, governed from elsewhere.

The other 529 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Utah is already a nation in all but name.
If Utah were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Utah was settled by people who walked away from a country that would not leave them alone, and it governed itself as the State of Deseret before Washington drew its lines. That instinct to run your own affairs never left. On a fair, ballot-worded question, about 46 percent of Utah adults would vote to leave the union. That is close to 1.1 million people.
That 46 percent is the real number because a ballot is nothing like a phone poll. A poll catches you off guard and asks about an abstract idea. A vote is calm, binary, and peaceful: leave or stay, put plainly, the way a real question gets put. When people answer the ballot version, support runs about 30 points over the abstract poll. That moves Utah from a distant idea to within reach of a majority.
What is missing here is not the will. It is each other. Utah leaned Republican in 2020, and self-determination is neither a red thing nor a blue thing, so the people ready for this are already scattered across the state without a way to find one another. We bring the playbook and the connections from the largest independence movement in the country. We do not run your group and we do not take your money. You build what Utah's movement looks like.
