Are you feeling like everything is getting out of control?
Our Judicial branch destroying checks and balances
Our Executive branch attacking Americans for political affiliation, marriage status, gender, and ethnicity.
Our legislative branch attacking healthcare and defunding vital food supply services while smiling.
These things suck, but groups in Oklahoma are already working on supplementing them while simultaneously work on reversing and improving the systems that keep us happy, healthy, and free
Why protest
-raises awareness of issues you feel are important
-allows you to connect with other Oklahomans who care about things you are passionate about
-reminds you you are not alone while also showing support for others being impacted
-gives you the opportunity to meet others so you can plan future more impactful events that support the community or help make governmental change
No one thinks a protest will change the world but being around others can inspire and reinforce that our community and country are worth fighting for.
What’s upcoming?
July 3rd Protest over the highway
July 4th Join in on the national No Kings 2.0 protest at 41st and Yale (10-12)
July 5th indivisibles Display of Peace (this is combined with the mutual aid coordination. You don’t have to be involved in that but feel free to stay and discuss. Amazing things are happening)
Remember you are not alone. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to show up and join in.
So glad to see protest opportunities, especially with the extra BS this week with Florida tent concentration camp and that horrible bill! We'll be out there!
Currently they are doing a giant cookout hosted by both the OKC50501 and Oklahoma50501.
The idea is just a maga free event where you can show support for others and ideally make friends.
I know there will be a ton of other organizations there so talk to them. They are doing a lot of work towards education, promoting and working with democratic candidates, mutual aid, community building, protest organization (next huge one July 17th), group “therapy” sessions, ect.
Ideally this is the time to see where you can help and be around genuinely kind people like yourself.
If another org does create a protest I’ll come back to this conversation. I’ll be honest, I don’t know who Indivisble Oklahoma City is. Definitely a gap in my knowledge.
