Voices Uncaged: Hispanic Heritage Art and Activism

This event is in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month with the purpose of bringing together artists, organizers, and community members to explore the powerful intersection of art and activism. We aim to uplift the voices, experiences, and resilience of immigrant communities – particularly those impacted by detention, deportation, and harmful immigration policies.

The event will take place at a local art gallery in the Paseo Art district of OKC near Flora Bodega, a community hub. Attendees can come-and-go anytime from 6-9pm on Friday, September 4 during the Paseo District's First Friday gallery walk.

ACLU of Oklahoma Requests Hearing to Contest Discrimination by Oklahoma Tax Commission

By requesting a formal hearing, the ACLU of Oklahoma and its client aim to present these arguments in detail and seek a reversal of the Tax Commission’s decision to deny Mr. Luttrell’s request. The Tax Commission must honor the tenets of free speech codified in the Oklahoma and United States Constitutions and allow Mr. Luttrell the opportunity to freely and fully express himself just like any other Oklahoman.
A copy of the ACLU’s Request for Hearing is attached here.
