DONATE
We need your help.
Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.
Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.
You can help by making a one-time or recurring donation on PressBackers.com, which directs you to our Galena Fund 501(c)(3) non-profit, a resource dedicated to help fund local journalism. It is never too late. It is never too little. Thank you.

What would you protest, and what would your song be?
Nick Clark: I would protest Walmart’s cheap wares to the tune of Neil Young’s “Piece of Crap.”
Derek Carlisle: In the spirit of the Irish who helped build this country, “Oh Juan-y Boy” should be sung loud to support the rights of the Spanish whose sweat we wring out of our flag.
Nick Morgan: Utah’s increasingly asinine liquor laws. If we lose daily drink specials, you’ll find me on the picket line. “You gotta fight, for your right, to paaaarty!”
Rachel Scott: Hell! What wouldn’t I protest?! Basically, everything boils down to the tea party Republicans, who are a bunch of Bible-thumping, hypocritical, misogynist, middle-class-crushing bastards. I would play angry lesbian music—both politically charged and sexy.
Erik Daenitz: I would protest the mass disservice of a speculative banking industry that removes wealth from the many for the few. So, Kanye West, “Who Will Survive in America.”
Jackie Briggs: I would fight for my right to live my life how I see fit. Consenting adults should be able to marry whomever and however many people we want. I would be protesting to “It’s Raining Men,” and by protesting, I of course mean dancing in the streets, in drag, to that song.
Scott Renshaw: I’d protest stridently for greater financial resources in public education, then use “The Greatest Love of All” as my protest song so hipsters would wonder whether I was being ironic.
Jesse Fruhwirth: Phil Ochs’ “I Ain’t Marching Anymore.” YouTube it before you’re drafted into the Yemen war.
