Keep an eye out across Freedom Oklahoma channels for more details about sponsorships, tickets, awardees, programming, and more! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/875cce0d-b006-45a9-ab07-076332a56874/study.png News - December 2024 Update On December 1st, we recognized World AIDS Day. Ever wonder what it would look like to not have HIV criminalization laws in Oklahoma? It would look like responding to public health with public health discussion instead of a criminal punishment. And, we've already seen what that can look like! On November 20th, we convened at the OK Capitol for Repeal and Repair: A Community Interim Study on Oklahoma's Ongoing HIV Criminalization alongside some national and local partners. HOPE Tulsa gave us an overview of what the HIV epidemic in Oklahoma looks like. The Center for HIV Law & Policy and The Williams Institute presented on HIV criminalization in Oklahoma. Sara Raines MPH, CPH, CHES with the Oklahoma City-County Health Department put Oklahoma's HIV criminalization law into historical context (including how the state responded to sexual behavior from people living with HIV that were not involving criminal law). And The Equality Federation presented on what accurate public health policy can look like alongside our Executive Director, Nicole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/8694fe1b-4a20-45d6-9867-864c947d9f78/out+of+office.png News - December 2024 Update This work is deeply personal to all of our staff, and we believe that in order to best serve our broader community, we have to honor ourselves in this work with rest when we can. It has been an incredibly heavy year for all of us. We know that a new year means a new legislative session, a new presidential administration, and big fights in front of us. To prepare for that work, our office will be closed for the final two weeks of 2024. If you have the capacity to grant other people (or yourself) room to rest, we hope you'll take the opportunity to do just that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/d52eb43f-d133-40be-9cab-ea2401cd5967/job.png News - December 2024 Update We're so excited to grow our team in 2025! We're searching for someone to work at the intersection of digital communications and organizing in the year ahead. Think you might be the right person for the job? Read the full description and application instructions here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/f317e7a1-b5ca-482c-98fe-89db89e24862/c3.png News - December 2024 Update As we shared in September, we learned this fall that, due to a filing failure by a previous CPA and lack of prompt remedy by our then-contracted accountant, our organization's tax filings, though prepared, were not submitted to the IRS. Unfortunately, this oversight resulted in Freedom Oklahoma being placed on the IRS's automatic revocation list for 501(c)(3) organizations, meaning that Freedom Oklahoma’s 501(c)(3) status is currently revoked. We let you know that we retained legal counsel and a new contact accountant to work with urgency and the best available resources to address this problem. And, in the spirit of first and foremost ensuring we can still do this work, we also worked with an Oklahoma-based fiscal sponsor, The Third Space Foundation, to ensure we could continue to accept grants and donations for our work in the short term. As of last month, we’ve officially filed all of the required paperwork and request for an expedited retroactive statement with the IRS. Now, we wait, and we continue our work with the belief that we have a strong case to see reinstatement granted in the (hopefully) near future. What does that mean for your giving? If you give through our c3, the gift will not be tax deductible until our c3 status is reinstated. You can also give through our fiscal sponsor, The Third Space Foundation, for an immediate tax-deductible donation. We appreciate your continued support of our work. And we remain committed to transparency and will continue to update you on the reinstatement process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/f9d7e8c3-a576-49d7-a3e8-d26b174f3b3b/giving+tuesday.png News - December 2024 Update It’s our Giving Tuesday tradition to uplift organizations doing the work to make an Oklahoma where we all have the safety to thrive. Knowing the importance of mutual aid, we’re also highlighting the folks who ensure safety through mutual aid efforts. These folks have been doing true grassroots organizing—empowering and caring for our communities. We are beyond grateful for their work and hope you'll support their work this Giving Tuesday and beyond: OKC Reparations Tulsa Intersectional Cares Network Oklahoma Trans Crowd Funding Okie Comrade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/2c0d55e0-0ecb-4585-9a5e-d51470058c55/zines.png News - December 2024 Update Last month, we honored Trans Day of Remembrance virtually and in person. Whether you joined us for our virtual TDoR vigil space or our heART of the Work community gathering in Tulsa, we thank you for helping us hold space for collective grief on our own terms. During these events, we launched our 2024 TDoR zine collection. One is from our 2024 Love Letters to Trans Oklahomans campaign, and the other is a community-created zine in honor of Nex. You can find the full digital zines in our Zine Archive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/e2bb70b4-8816-40e3-a3d7-deeb6e9bf2bf/youth+sidebar.png News - December 2024 Update It's no secret the past several weeks have been stressful, and as many of us begin to wrap up our year and think to the next one, it's so important to take care of ourselves. That's why we, the Freedom Oklahoma interns, have put together some resources to help you take care of yourself. Our website has a number of mental health resources, some specifically for youth and others on our general mental health resources page. Take some time for yourself and look through these pages! We especially want to highlight this Coping with gender dysphoria worksheet--think about making a coping care pack this month! No matter how you practice self-care, remember that this work can't be done unless we also do the work for ourselves! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/3ed88396-d48c-415e-94a2-3488815293a7/mask+ban.png News - December 2024 Update “At the time of writing, more than a dozen mask bans have been proposed at the local, state, and federal levels, presented as “anti-crime” bills. Still more jurisdictions are reviving and enforcing once-defunct anti-mask ordinances, some dating as far back as the mid-1800s. This bipartisan push comes in direct response to ongoing mass protests against the genocide in Palestine, during which protesters have maintained widespread masking to show solidarity and protect from surveillance, doxxing, COVID-19, and chemical irritants. As we continue to see sustained death and disablement due to COVID and Long COVID, the public health and disability justice implications of criminalizing mask-wearing are disastrous alone. But to make matters worse, these bans violate our most fundamental civil liberties. . .” Read the full letter here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/4d1476d5-fede-436b-8f09-6b20b6df2faa/lunch+and+learn.png News - December 2024 Update The Freedom Sessions is hosting a new Lunch & Learn Series in preparation for the 2025 legislative session!

We have invited State Department of Education board members, each of whom is an appointee of Kevin Stitt and not accountable or in touch with our communities, to attend a community listening session so they can hear directly from you about your concerns. This session is open to all; students, teachers, parents, and concerned community members. We understand that the regular monthly State Board of Education meetings being held in OKC during a workday are not accessible to many and the fact that they can only allow for ten speakers, makes it even harder for our voices to be heard. Even more, Oklahomans outside of OKC have less access to the physical meeting and meeting livestream. The People's Hearing is an opportunity to share your concerns, joys, and hopes for public schools in Oklahoma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/5baaab58-0816-444d-a7ad-39d4a17f3721/sidebars.png News - November 2024 Update We’ll be hosting a virtual vigil space to honor those we have lost through violence in this past year. Whether through physical violence, or systemic oppression that keeps us from accessing what we need to have the safety to thrive, we lose 2STGNC+ lives at significantly higher rates. We know that in-person spaces are not always accessible to everyone, so we hope to ensure that everyone will have a space to share in community and hold one another. There will be space for folks to share (speech, spoken word/poetry, visual art via pdf, etc) while we also honor the lives we have lost near and far this last year. We will also have a slideshow of submissions from our Love Letters to Trans Oklahomans series. Attendees will also get a sneak peak of the community-made Love Letters to Nex, with submissions from all over the state of Oklahoma. We look forward to sharing in community and care with you Wednesday, November 20th, from 6-7pm! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/1c7e8fe2-4ab8-42e0-960f-376372853b75/sidebars+%281%29.png News - November 2024 Update We’ll be hosting heART of the work in Tulsa on Friday, November 22nd from 6-8pm to share in community, art, music, and joy with one another to celebrate the beauty of 2STGNC+ lives. We have felt the loss of members of our community directly. These last few years have not been easy as we continue to have to advocate for lived equity in Oklahoma. Freedom Oklahoma's heART of the work means to create space for creativity, sharing our hopes and fears, and lean into healing together. There will be space for folks to share (speech, spoken word/poetry, etc) as well as singing, performers, art stations, and a gallery space. We will be launching a community made zine in honor of Nex Benedict as well as our annual launch of our Love Letters to Trans Oklahomans zine. This event is free, and food will be provided. We look forward to sharing in community and care with you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/5a98e1c8-0e01-4f68-a881-5c5df0f5121c/sidebars+%284%29.png News - November 2024 Update We want to continue to keep you updated on the process for restoration of our c3 status. If this sounds like news to you, you can read our initial information shared about our status from September, here: https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/news/a-letter-of-transparency. At present, we are in the final stages of reviewing all of the paperwork required for submission. We hope to have that finalized and in the mail by the beginning of next week at the latest. Then, everything will be in the hands of the IRS for the process to continue. While there's some variability on the timeline of the process on their end, we are still confident that we will have a favorable decision coming our way, soon. And, while we wait for that restoration, we continue to be so grateful for The Third Space Foundation for their fiscal sponsorship. This has allowed us to avoid gaps in our ability to accept support towards our mission and goals. Their support allows us to continue to accept grants and donations while we await reinstatement. You can give to support our work through The Third Space Foundation here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=V5JTVM7PG59HW Beyond the retroactive pieces of the work, we continue our work with Oklahoma Nonprofit Partners for accounting services, and are excited on the work we're doing to build systems that best serve the longevity of this work.

You may have already met him at a People's Hearing or School Board Organizing space or during our Give Trans Folks Our Flowers While We're Still Here event in Tulsa. That to say, they jumped right into the work, and now their role has expanded to help grow our capacity. As Director of Operations, Organizing, and Support, RPC will continue to build on his strong community organizing background to make things happen as our doing things and dollars expert. RPC brings many years of experience in advocacy, operations management, grassroots/community organizing, and strategic planning with a special interest in policy change, relationship-building, and community empowerment. RPC is based in Tulsa, residing on Cherokee land with their two cats, Romeo & Finn, and their dog, Widow and is a transmasc queer disabled veteran living with PTSD. They understand how all our liberations are bound together and are dedicated to doing the work to create and cultivate that space in a state that consistently denies our very existence. Beyond their work at Freedom Oklahoma, you can catch RPC building power and organizing to elect policymakers accountable to the people, not political ambition, or ordering the perfect coffee at Fulton Street Books & Coffee. And, most importantly, RPC is a Taurus Sun and loves food and the outdoors! If you see RPC around in person or virtually, send him a warm welcome to the FOK team! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/cb26dcd7-f14e-4139-ad5c-d75c51702fae/Community+groups+%28Instagram+Post%29+%281%29.png News - September 2024 Update It’s another month of community groups and we’ve revamped our Student group!

This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and reflecting on the progress and achievements of our team, I can't help but feel a profound sense of happiness. Being a part of the Freedom Oklahoma team has been three years of learning, building, and rethinking and I'm leaving with a sense of accomplishment and joy in my heart. Together, we've tackled challenges, celebrated victories, and worked towards a brighter future for all 2SLGBTQ+ Oklahomans. Together, we have developed programming that has soared to remarkable peaks, and cultivated our social media presence to new heights, garnering Freedom Oklahoma national recognition. While it's a tad bittersweet to say goodbye, I want you to know that my belief in the incredible work we do at Freedom Oklahoma is as strong as ever. It's just time for me to pass the torch (or maybe a glittery scepter) to someone ready for the next chapter. Thank you for being an essential part of this incredible journey. I leave with a heart full of gratitude and look forward to witnessing the continued growth and impact of Freedom Oklahoma.” - Christina Chavez Wiestner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/1495dec5-9517-46d5-acc4-b8cf2cd834a5/Community+groups+%28Instagram+Post%29+%281%29.png News - January 2024 Update As we barrel towards the end of the year, we know community can be extra critical.

It has been an incredibly heavy year for all of us. We know that a new year means a new legislative session and big fights in front of us. Our office will be closed for the final two weeks of 2023 to prepare for that work. If you have the capacity to grant other people (or yourself) room to rest, we hope you'll take the opportunity to do just that. Even as we rest, we know this time of year brings unique challenges for many of our community members. We've compiled a list of resources specific to 2SLGBTQ+ Oklahomans that we hope can help you in this season and beyond. You can find them at https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/resources We'll be back online in 2024! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/3b1785aa-6d41-4043-af8b-209f83f9ecfc/unnamed+%283%29.png News - December 2023 Update While we issued this statement earlier, we wanted to again lift up these words as a reminder of the ways our liberation is bound together. Many people want to try to shift a conversation about what is happening in Gaza to religious intolerance or hatred, but we know that rhetoric only serves to drive up rates of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. This is not a war or a conflict. It is a genocide. The Palestinian people, including civilians, a majority of whom are children, and media based in Gaza, are being systematically killed, disabled, and unhoused by the Israeli government. Some folks might ask why we, an organization whose focus is largely on 2SLGBTQ+ folks in Oklahoma, would take what might be perceived as a political risk and make a statement about Palestine. We know what it is to have genocide targeting your community glossed over as “not your issue,” or to have the talking points remain fixed on religious dichotomies when there is a vibrant range of people impacted by the harm being wielded by those in power. We’re experiencing the stages of genocide targeting Two Spirit, transgender, and gender nonconforming+ folks unfold in real-time in Oklahoma. And what we’re seeing in Gaza is genocide, too. We will not watch on silently as our state and our country actively support the further murder of Palestinian people, and others trapped in the living prison that is Gaza. 2SLGBTQ+ liberation requires Palestinian liberation.

Despite this devastating blow to our clinic and community, we resolved to stay in Oklahoma and redefine what it means to be a reproductive health care provider. Over the last year, we’ve made huge strides forward to meet that commitment, and we’re just getting started. Under the new brand “Community Care by Trust Women,” we’re providing Oklahomans with gender affirming care, medication assisted treatment for opioid users, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, and a broad range of sexual health services. We’ve partnered with many amazing organizations already doing much of this work in Oklahoma City and the state, including Freedom Oklahoma. We’re putting our experience in abortion care and reproductive rights advocacy to work in trans health justice, harm reduction and community health, acknowledging the many, many intersections these each share. Staying in Oklahoma also means we’re well-positioned in the ongoing fight to restore legal abortions to the state. Our advocacy efforts are focused on building power with ally organizations and making in-roads with Oklahoma’s state legislature. As we continue to expand our services and advocacy in Oklahoma, we know we’re making a positive impact on the lives of so many in our community, and we’re so proud to collaborate with and support allies like Freedom Oklahoma.” - Community Care by Trust Women https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/13cc2073-db22-4d10-ae73-a93830313beb/NGMC+%28Instagram+Post%29.png News - November 2023 Update On Saturday, December 2nd, we'll be hosting one more virtual Name and Gender Marker Correction Clinic before 2023 is over!

If you are seeking support and can’t attend, please contact namechange@freedomoklahoma.org Please note: While there is still pending litigation on Kevin Stitt’s executive order banning gender marker amendments to birth certificates and related legislation, we are still very much eligible for name and binary gender marker corrections (M/F) on a case-by-case basis. The Oklahoma Health Department is NOT granting amended birth certificates at this time, including binary gender marker corrections. However, we are still able to update our State ID/Drivers Licenses and other federal documentation once granted a court order.

Our clinic is rooted in the knowledge that this process cannot and should not be one co-opted or gate kept by attorneys. 2STGNC+ folks have always engaged in these processes pro se, and we want to maximize access and accessibility for as much of our community as possible, while also expanding the number of folks in the legal field who have knowledge and experience around the name change and gender marker correction process. In order to do that, and as we’ve adjusted to staff changes and shifts in responsibility around the clinic, we’ve also taken the steps to engage stakeholders to ensure paperwork accuracy, maximize the time of clinic participants, and compile information to help folks have the best starting point for the process in all 77 counties across Oklahoma.

The collection includes the Greenwood Block (spelled out in letters GREEN in green and WOOD in brown) at the center of the quilt is assembled with strips from a memorial panel for Clinton Wilding Smith as part of the Names Project. Clinton Wilding Smith was a dancer and choreographer. He died of AIDS in 1994 at the age of 40. If you look closely, you can see occasional pieces of red thread, which quilter Kathleen Doherty chose purposefully for good luck. The block is quilted onto black fabric with red binding. Red, a color central to advocacy, awareness, and memorialization of those impacted by HIV AIDS, sized as a wall hanging, serving as a reminder of the ways our liberation is bound together. As a part of the project, you can donate to Justice for Greenwood to support the ongoing fight for reparations and be entered to win one of the community quilts from the Oklahoma Quilt Memorial. Details can be found via QR codes by the quilts in person and on the website www.okquilt.org/quilts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/0f8edda4-3370-4e44-b3f8-36ffade2cfa2/Community+groups+%28Instagram+Post%29+%281%29.png News - June 2023 Update Join us to discuss End of Legislative Session updates, upcoming Pride events, and what's happening in each other's communities.

For caregivers who are recovering from their own trauma and are skeptical of tech-based resources, we are creating “Liberate,” an Inclusive, Accessible, and Engaging Resource Hub that includes a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). Our hope is that Liberate will help caregivers experience freedom from what held them back in their own sexual health education so that they may be liberated and available to navigate sexual health with the youth in their lives now. There’s much more to come for Liberate, but for now, you can check out our website to get an overview of the project and access the ever-evolving resource hub! Our ultimate goal is to ensure that Liberate will be available to those regardless of consistent internet access and offer various translation options–in the meantime, we want to share the work in progress so you all can get just as excited as we are. With this new project, we will have the ability to heal, learn, and liberate together! https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/news/freedom-oklahoma-statement-on-respect-for-marriage-act-signing monthly 0.5 2022-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/b12a39aa-cf51-4d62-b3c2-f446dc013a1e/_RMA+Response+Graphics+-+twitter.png News - Freedom Oklahoma Statement on Respect for Marriage Act Signing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/news/december-2022-update monthly 0.5 2022-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/e3181429-39d8-4ff9-be1a-eccea6e37e3a/monthly+update+banner.png News - December 2022 Update - Make it stand out ID: “December Monthly Update” www.freedomoklahoma.org/news and the FOK logo.

Back in 1996, the Council was abolished because municipal leaders did not want to extend even the possibility of protections to queer Oklahomans. More than a quarter of a century later, those who oppose re-establishing the council are using the same sets of anti-2SLGBTQ+ talking points. That anyone opposes this body being re-established only further illustrates the need for this body to exist. There's still time to contact Municipal Leadership ahead of the 7/19 vote! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/7d9d8dad-02f3-4efe-888a-fcb3eedfbc16/unnamed+%282%29.png News - July 2022 Update - Join the Unite Oklahoma Network We’re working in partnership with Unite Us to easily connect people with health care services, social care services, and community-based organizations that can provide them with the care and support they need.

Our next stop in the People's Hearing Series is Miami, OK at the Miami Public Library on Tuesday, November 19th from 5-7 PM. We have invited State Department of Education board members, each of whom is an appointee of Kevin Stitt and not accountable or in touch with our communities, to attend a community listening session so they can hear directly from you about your concerns. This session is open to all; students, teachers, parents, and concerned community members. We understand that the regular monthly State Board of Education meetings being held in OKC during a workday are not accessible to many and the fact that they can only allow for ten speakers, makes it even harder for our voices to be heard. Even more, Oklahomans outside of OKC have less access to the physical meeting and meeting livestream. The People's Hearing is an opportunity to share your concerns, joys, and hopes for public schools in Oklahoma in and where you live and grow. We will also have space to brainstorm how our community can build power to enact change for the better for all Oklahomans. Come out and let the board members know how they can better serve you and our community! Please contact us at info@freedomoklahoma.org if you have planned a speech for the event or if you have any questions or concerns. Seating is limited, so register now! Light dinner will be provided. We will do our best to accommodate dietary needs. https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/events/tdor monthly 0.5 2024-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/e36ea752-38a9-42b6-8549-52205355d1e1/TDoR+Event+Social+%281%29.png EVENTS - the heart of the work: a TDoR gathering Join us on Friday Nov 22nd from 6-8pm at the downtown Tulsa Library in the Pocahontas Greadington Learning Center to share in community, art, music, and joy as we celebrate 2STGNC+ lives!

Whether through physical violence, or systemic oppression that keeps us from accessing what we need to have the safety to thrive, we lose 2STGNC+ lives at significantly higher rates. We know that in-person spaces are not always accessible to everyone, so we hope to ensure that everyone will have a space to share in community and hold one another whether attending an in-person TDoR vigil or the FOK virtual TDoR vigil. There will be space for folks to share (speech, spoken word/poetry, visual art via pdf, etc) while we also honor the lives we have lost near and far this last year. We will also have a slideshow of submissions from our Love Letters to Trans Oklahomans series. Attendees will also get a sneak peak of the community-made Love Letters to Nex, with submissions from all over the state of Oklahoma.

This module is all about the different ways you can raise awareness and increase engagement towards the change you want to see in the world. From rallies, calls to action, virtual campaigns, and more; we will explore the history and inner workings of communicating your cause to enact change for the better. https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/yam-activity-module-art-as-resistance daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce90e1799940555acbc8f3/1089e4e6-410e-4c95-8a6a-503bb5e34796/art.png YAM — Activity Module 3: Art as Resistance - Activity Module 3: Art As Resistance There are so many ways to take action for change in your community. Storytelling, direct action, and mutual aid are all ways to build movements outside of legislative advocacy; but art is one of the most enduring protests we have at our disposal. Our communities have used art to draw attention to injustice, to celebrate in the face of oppression, and to reimagine a world that truly works for all of us. Political art drives social change and inspires movements. Whether it’s visual, performance, spoken word, or something we’ve never even seen before, your artistic contributions to social change spark our collective imagination and inform our work for a better world. https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/leadership-summit-2022 daily 0.75 2022-08-22
