Capitol Advocacy Day

We are so excited to have you join us, as we host Advocacy Day on Thursday, March 12, at the Oklahoma State Capitol. As you probably know, the work of the ACLU is now more critical than ever, and we want this year’s attendance to be the biggest yet. Please complete the following registration form, and we will be in contact with further details. The first 80 people who register are guaranteed to receive a free limited-edition ACLU of Oklahoma t-shirt. Please submit one registration entry for every person (children too) who will be with us, so that we can have an accurate count for food and beverages. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Nicole Maldonado at nmaldonado@acluok.org.

Capital Punishment

Not in My Name Coalition Meeting

Every Oklahoman must ask themselves not whether they support the death penalty, but rather: Do I trust the government with the power to kill its citizens—especially after catastrophic failures in the recent past? Oklahoma's criminal legal system has failed to protect the innocent, those with serious mental health conditions, and individuals who have suffered adverse childhoods from execution. We cannot allow this to continue! Capital Punishment is racist, arbitrary, costly, and error-prone. It is time to end the death penalty once and for all. The mission of the Not in My Name Coalition is to raise awareness, educate, and mobilize individuals and groups to take a stand against the use of capital punishment in the state of Oklahoma. Through our efforts, we strive to foster a culture of empathy by validating the humanity of people incarcerated on death row and advocating for their fundamental rights. Together, we declare, Not in My Name: we stand against the ultimate and irreversible act of state-sanctioned violence. Join the fight to end the death penalty in Oklahoma by becoming part of the Not in My Name Coalition. As a member, you will be informed of local events and rallies, gain a space to organize, and join a network of dedicated individuals who are committed to the work alongside you. Sign up now!
