"I want people to know they don't need to be fixed. You're not broken, you just need someone to connect with. You can go into support groups feeling hopeless and come out feeling like you can do anything." - Neville, DBSA Support Group Participant
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma. Over six decades, the ACLU of Oklahoma has worked tirelessly in the courts, the legislature, and communities across the state to expand the constitutional protections afforded to all Oklahomans, regardless of background or ideology. And that work continues today.
Join us this November as we commemorate 60 years in defense of civil liberties. Sponsorships and tickets are now available! https://t.co/TBtvDvjWHQ

Content Warming: mention of suicide & death.
By now you might have heard the news about the Oklahoma medical examiner determined Nex Benedict's death a suicide. I was made aware this afternoon when I stepped out of the chamber & a reporter told me
and for our Trans Day of Visibility Celebration Saturday March 30. You can find information on those events as well as our monthly virtual meeting spaces at https://t.co/z7m4nrpLX2.
Today the Oklahoma Medical Examiner released another summary report to media. You can find our full statement in response, here:

The First Lady and I mourn this tragedy with Nexโs family, friends and the larger community. We have offered @CherokeeNation Marshal Service support to Owasso PD as it investigates Nexโs death.
Nex Benedict should still be alive. Nex deserved not only a safe and nurturing environment to learn, but an environment that actively disrupted anti-2STGNC+ rhetoric and worked to ensure that vulnerable students were safe. Read more, here: https://t.co/t6gsHDoK3P
Join us to discuss updates, events, and ways to plug into community efforts. As always, we will have space to discuss participants' joys and struggles. If you have updates or skill shares, bring those too!

Itโs a fundamental principle of our
democracy that the government canโt discriminate against people โ or silence them โ based on the content of their speech.
The freedom to challenge gender
norms fuels creativity and artistry across our culture.
TOMORROW: Join us at our 2SLGBTQ+ community group for students and youth to discuss the best ways to support schools and students going into the new school year!
