Organizer Jamie Carter acknowledged the pressure to create a peaceful atmosphere at the Utah Capitol on October 18, where protesters gathered to demonstrate against President Donald Trump and his administration.

The event was held amidst concerns over political violence in Utah, including the deaths of Afa Ah Loo, a fashion designer killed during a No Kings march, and Charlie Kirk, a political activist killed during a rally at Utah Valley University.

Organizers were aware of two deadly instances of political violence in Utah.
