SB 80 Utah Antidiscrimination Act Amendments
If you are familiar with the Crown Act that has been mentioned throughout the Country, you will understand why SB 80 is super important to pass in the 2021 Legislative Session. This bill amends the Utah Antidiscrimination Act to provide protection for immutable traits and hairstyles historically associated with race. For more information on the bill, follow this link https://le.utah.gov/~2021/bills/static/SB0080.html
UPDATE: Unfortunately the bill did not move out out of the Economic Development and Workforce Committee. We thank Senator Kitchen and his team for sponsoring this bill and hope we can revise to join the 2022 Legislative Session.
She's her Space Wings!

As of August 2020, she has was reassigned for a 6 month mission on the Space Station to start November 2021. This makes her the first Black woman to LIVE aboard the International Space Station for an extended period of time. We are so happy and excited for Dr. Epps!
