🤝 Engaging with legislators, sharing tools, and rallying for change! Thank you so much to everyone who made it to Day of Action! Our voices are echoing through the Capitol today, and together, we're making a difference. 🗣️💪 #DayofAction #CommunityAction #Oklahoma @OKPolicy
"Speaking with college students has been the antidote for recent doldrums. I recently had the honor of meeting with the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature , and their enthusiasm and engagement with the lawmaking process was refreshing." journalrecord.com/2024/04/policy…
🗣️ Today is the day! We'll be at the Oklahoma Capitol this morning with hundreds of community advocates for the 2024 #DayofAction. 👋 Come on down! [Haven't registered? No problem. Check in at the table on the 2nd floor of the Capitol Rotunda.] togetherok.org/dayofaction
As the folks with lived experience will tell us, bills like SB 1854 that criminalize homelessness will only make matters worse not better. Oklahomans can work together to achieve good solutions that can alleviate the problem. SB 1854 isn’t one of them.

The Oklahoma House passed SB 1854, criminalizing the unhoused who camp on state property: a $50 fine or 15 days in jail. As someone who was unhoused for 15 months and still struggles with housing insecurity I can tell you this will only worsen our housing crisis. 🧵1/
This bill doesn’t just hurt immigrant families— it affects all of our livelihoods. This bill targets your fellow community members just because of their immigration status. Call the governor’s office to stand up for undocumented folks!
Unfortunately, #HB4156 was passed and now proceeds to the governor for his signature. You can contact the governor's office via his website or call his office at 405-521-2342 to encourage him to veto HB 4156. Contact the Gov. Stitt now: secure.everyaction.com/mv9As41OYUGYAu…

🚨 Action Alert: Call your Legislators and urge them to vote NO HB 4156. HB 4156 would criminalize undocumented immigrants in our communities. To learn more about HB 4156, follow our bill tracker available on our website. #okleg acluok.org/en/our-work/le…
It's shucking season!
For folks who don’t follow the day-in, day-out workings of the #okleg, “shucking” a bill means taking what might otherwise be an innocuous bill and overwriting into something else completely. Usually controversial. The author of the revised SB 36 also shucked HB 1775 in 2021. 1/

Oklahoma lawmakers shucked a bill Tuesday that would now allow schools to employ or use chaplains to “provide support” for students, like counseling. There is no recourse against evangelizing or requirement for certification or background checks: kgou.org/education/2024…

I made @OKPolicy's QOTD! Now if I could just get them to quote me on the minimum wage, housing, childcare, and the corporate income tax. Baby steps, James. Baby steps... 😄

@OKPolicy @TheBWSTimes Moving forward I’ll be focusing on longform and investigative writing, which you can still catch at various publications, @TheBWSTimes & my newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/deonosborn… With OK Policy, I’m looking forward to connecting Oklahomans with the tools to impact democracy.
Excited to announce I’ve accepted a position as field organizer for central Oklahoma with @OKPolicy. I’m so grateful for the experience I’ve gained and contributions I’ve made while serving at @TheBWSTimes the past three years.
Made my way to the Oklahoma capitol yesterday. First time since June 29, 2022 (Castro-Huerta day). Hung out at the Native American caucus. Chatted w/the @OKPolicy Tribal-State Policy Analyst. And ended the day w/fellow Cherokee, Senator @shanejett. You win if you don’t quit.
Good morning, early birds! The bill filing deadline was Thursday, and lawmakers filed more than 2000 new bills and joint resolutions for possible consideration in the 2024 regular session.
