On March 22, 2023, Jenny Hatch is organising a demonstration at the Sixth District Courthouse in Manti. The address is as follows:
WEST COURTROOM
2160 NORTH MAIN, ROOM 303
Manti, Utah
Judge Mandy Larsen will be presiding. There is nothing on the website that indicates the public is barred from attending the hearing at 1 p.m. MT. Show up, make your presence known, and your voices heard. The powers that be in Utah need to know that people have had enough.
No bail for David Lee Hamblin.

Longer term, it is the intention of IRA to get Ken Ivory’s amendment to the Utah Constitution passed ASAP to allow sexual abuse survivors to sue their abusers beyond the current statute of limitations. We will be organizing Utahn voters and citizens to that end in the near future. Our ultimate goal will be the repeal of all civil and criminal statutes of limitations on sex crimes, but the amendment to the Utah constitution is a starting point. It is time to declare war on child sexual abuse and serve notice to the abusers and their enablers and allies that we have had enough.
There is no moral or ethical basis for allowing those who rape children to evade culpability because their victims didn’t report within a certain time frame. It is time to put a stop to this corruption.
To accomplish this, IRA needs volunteers on the ground in Utah to contact members of the state legislature, and to organize a non-profit advocacy group-or repurpose an existing non-profit-as well as raising money for political advocacy and messaging. The goal is to have a lean organization, where the officers are volunteers, and where every dime of donations goes directly to messaging and moving our goals forward. Ideally, those who are interested in helping will contribute their skills in graphic design and multimedia at or near cost, and enable us to get the maximum bang for every donor dollar.
Additionally, the goal will be to make contact with voters door by door to drum up public support for the amendment and the repeal of all statutes of limitations on sex crimes, but with particular emphasis soon sex crimes against children.
IRA will also continue its efforts to hold Hamblin and his accomplices accountable going forward, first by exposing them, and by pressing matters on the aforementioned fronts. It is past time to put an end to these groups, and legal reform driven by public advocacy is the best way to do that.
On March 22, 2023, show up to the district courthouse in Manti for that hearing. Let your presence be known and your voices be heard. There are more of us than there are of them, and they have intimidated and cowed victims long enough. This will not happen overnight, but with persistence and determination, it will happen. Show the world that Latter Day Saints and ordinary Utah citizens are united against child sexual abuse in all of its forms, and determined to hold child rapists and their enablers accountable.
Goel.
Jenny, how can people reach you to cast their lot in with you on this?
