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.

Let the People Vote

Coronavirus could make it hard for Oklahomans to vote in our upcoming elections, but it doesn’t have to. We are a coalition of concerned Oklahomans who’ve come together to ensure no one has to risk their safety in order to exercise their right to vote in the midst of a pandemic.Casting an absentee ballot by mail should be the easy solution to ensure Oklahomans can safely exercise their right to vote from the security of their own home. But Oklahoma is one of only three states where the ballot form requires absentee ballots to be notarized in order to be counted on Election Day. This must change immediately.
