Protesters plan to gather in at least 10 cities across Utah to protest the Trump administration on Thursday, the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights leader and former congressman John Lewis.
What we're watching: Whether turnout at SLC's anti-Trump protests recovers after a fatal shooting at the June 14 "No Kings" march downtown, by guards who police said were part of the event's "peacekeeping" team.
- Organizers struggled to draw a crowd in SLC for a nationwide July 4 protest after the national 50501 group cut ties with the SLC branch, citing "disregard" for its "strict no-weapons policy."
Catch up quick: Before the shooting, anti-Trump rallies in Salt Lake attracted 10,000 or more protesters and were among the largest in recent Utah memory.

- The Utah State Capitol, 7-8:30pm

- Heber City Park, 5-9pm
