Mayor Erin Mendenhall said: We want to make it clear that Salt Lake City believes Black Lives Matter and is committed to real change in our community.

Panelists included Mendenhall, Black Lives Matter Utah founder Lex Scott, council member Ana Valdemoros, and creative director Chris Owens.

[9] Pablo Abarca, Donovan Guerrero, Emma Lamae, Liz Lambson,[5] Abigail Rodriguez, and Chloe and Gretel Tam were also selected.
