Oklahoma students face many barriers to high school graduation, even more so since the pandemic. But educators at two Oklahoma City area high schools have teamed up with a new community organization to tackle root causes of student behavioral issues. https://t.co/dOmwPJTKiB
Today we released the following numbers, which show promising reductions in gun homicides in NE OKC. We have a lot of work to do, but the the community is making a difference. ✊🏾
We were proud to help give out care packages to each and every human being detained in the Oklahoma County Jail today. Huge shoutout to Teem, Judge Cindy Truong, and the Arnall Family Foundation for making this possible.
Yesterday was so beautiful. We love seeing our community enjoy the peace of a beautiful day, in our neighborhood. This is the peace we deserve. This is what it looks like!!! Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed our first Easter Egg Hunt!! #Peace
We have to see the people we only see when violence occurs—before it happens. And we have to help them choose to stop shooting. No one wants to spend their life in prison or be shot themselves. People want to improve their life. LiveFree OKC is here to help. 3/3
It’s not because people are bad. It’s because our community is underserved and under resourced. Violence occurs at the culmination of longstanding unmet needs. To reduce violence, we have to engage the people in the margins, people who have fallen through the cracks. 2/3
Shooting Response:
Today we had a tragic incident of gun violence in our community in which 3 people were shot. At LiveFree OKC, we believe it’s important that when violence happens in our community, we talk about why it happens. 1/3

When Jabee Williams got the call from his parents that his brother was shot and killed in Oklahoma City, he didn’t know that would help define the rest of his life. At that moment, he only felt pain.
