.@KTULNews has learned the Oklahoma Senate is meeting to potentially override @GovStitt veto of the Oklahoma Survivors' Act,coauthored by @Sen_GregTreat and 14 other lawmakers. The legislation has been worked on for 2 years by advocates like @OK_Appleseed ktul.com/news/local/gov…
The Oklahoma Domestic Violence Survivor Justice Act Passes the Senate floor 45-0. What a wonderful day! @FreeAprilW @OK_Appleseed @SentencingProj
Thank you @MsMagazine for working with the @SentencingProj and @OK_Appleseed to highlight to our campaign to help criminalized survivors in Oklahoma. I cannot wait until April Wilkens walks out the gates of Mabel Bassett. @FreeAprilW msmagazine.com/2024/01/24/wom…
I talked with @okequalitylaw and @OK_Appleseed about their lawsuit against @oksde. My latest: kjrh.com/news/local-new…
The lawsuit was not mentioned during the meeting. The board postponed action to give its new general counsel, Cara Nicklas an opportunity to review it. Nicklas was hired during the board’s November meeting.
“This lawsuit sends a strong message the Oklahomans will not tolerate the government interfering with their private family affairs. Parents know what’s best for their kids, and we are willing to stand up for that bedrock principle.”
“Administrative overreach and interference from the state as it relates to raising children in Oklahoma must stop, said Colleen McCarty, executive director of the Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice.
alleges Walters and the board violated the Administrative Procedures Act, the Equal Protection Clause of the Oklahoma and US constitutions, Title IX prohibitions on gender discrimination and the Oklahoma Parents’ Bill of Rights.
The lawsuit was filed against Walters and the State Board of Education by the Oklahoma Equality Law Center and the Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice on behalf of a student.
The board adopted the emergency rule in September. A lawsuit was filed Thursday challenging the rule. At its October 26 meeting, the board denied requests from two school districts to authorize changing the gender or sex designation of two students based on the emergency rule.
The State Board of Education, meanwhile, delayed action Thursday on adopting a permanent rule that prohibits local school districts from changing students' sex or gender identification on prior students' records without state board approval.
We’re fighting back. #oklaed #oklahoma #ryanwalters
Yesterday with @okequalitylaw we filed suit against Supt. Walters and the OSDE in their official and personal capacities. They have discriminated against our client based on gender, violated their civil rights, violated the OK parents’ bill of rights. It’s time to lawyer up.
Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They're wrong. And if it’s falling in most states but not here in Alabama perhaps it’s time to examine how running America’s worst prisons isn’t increasing public safety. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…
Please join @SentencingProj for a webinar on how we criminalize survivors of domestic violence. The amazing ED of @OK_Appleseed will be joining us for this conversation. Link: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

26K Followers 2K Following Criminal defense attorney | Social activist | Documentary filmmaker | Movement strategist | Foundation directorGov. Stitt just vetoed the Oklahoma Survivor’s Justice Bill, SB 1470. This bill would have allowed judges to take into consideration evidence of domestic violence while sentencing survivors for fighting back or for crimes committed during survival. #OKLeg can still override.
If Stitt vetoes any of those bills, lawmakers might consider overriding the veto of a particular bill. That's what the Senate did Wednesday when it voted 46-1 to override Stitt's veto of SB1470, which creates the Oklahoma Survivor's Act.
Less than 24 hours later, the #okleg Senate votes 46-1 to override the Governor’s veto of the Survivor’s Justice Act, SB 1470. It heads to the House for the final veto override vote.
I stand with the advocates and survivors that worked so hard to make SB 1470 a reality. I’m proud of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for the overwhelming support of the legislation and look forward to us overriding this misguided veto.
.@KTULNews has learned the Oklahoma Senate is meeting to potentially override @GovStitt veto of the Oklahoma Survivors' Act,coauthored by @Sen_GregTreat and 14 other lawmakers. The legislation has been worked on for 2 years by advocates like @OK_Appleseed ktul.com/news/local/gov…
The Oklahoma Domestic Violence Survivor Justice Act Passes the Senate floor 45-0. What a wonderful day! @FreeAprilW @OK_Appleseed @SentencingProj
The Oklahoma Survivors Justice Act is known as SB 1470. A floor vote will happen in the Senate next week.
Last week, I argued in the @washingtonpost that we need more laws to look at releasing domestic abuse survivors from prison. As described here, the Oklahoma legislature is now looking at a bill that would do just that (via the @SentencingProj @OK_Appleseed )
The @SentencingProj has been working with our amazing partners in Oklahoma on domestic violence survivor justice legislation. Please support HB 1639 and help criminalized survivors! TW on the news story below. @FreeAprilW @OK_Appleseed

Must read - SB 1470 can't give the author those years back after decades of being incarcerated, but it can help her now. And it will prevent this unspeakable fate for others who are forced to defend themselves and their children against abusers. #okleg #yesonSB1470 @FreeAprilW
Pass #SB1470 and #FreeAprilWilkens. It's not just, and it's not right to have domestic violence survivors rotting away in Oklahoma's prisons. (4/4) #yesonSB1470 #okleg @FreeAprilW msmagazine.com/2024/01/24/wom…
