Provo Movement

The Provo Movement, active mainly in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was a social and political effort led by the Mormon community in Utah. Its goal was to promote traditional family values, conservative social principles, and community stability amid societal changes. Members organized around religious beliefs to encourage moral behavior and cultural cohesion, often in response to perceived threats from the broader counterculture. The movement sought to influence local policies and public opinion to align with their values, emphasizing family, religion, and conservative principles.
