OKC Pride Parade 2026
We are ecstatic to have you join us, as we walk in the annual Oklahoma City Pride Parade on Sunday, June 28th. As you probably know, the work of the ACLU is now more critical than ever, and we want this year's parade group to be the biggest yet!
Please complete the following registration form and we will be in contact with further details.
The first 80 people to register are guaranteed to receive a free limited-edition ACLU of Oklahoma t-shirt. We do not have a max on how many people can walk with us, but we cannot guarantee t-shirts will be available.
**Please submit one registration entry for every person (children too) that will be walking with us, so that we can have an accurate count for t-shirts and water.**
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Carly Heitland at cheitland@acluok.org.

Why it’s important to take action
The pandemic, a social uprising, turmoil from the presidential election were just a few of the things that spurred action last year. Although 2020 was filled with trauma and confusion, it allowed Americans to reflect on their actions and their impact on communities. For some, this dark moment of civil liberties and civil rights inspired them to participate in protests and organize. Others used this time to share insightful resources on social media. Both forms of participation transformed the landscape of activism and its accessibility. The consistent attacks over the last four years have emphasized the desperate need for action.
