Taxpayers shouldn’t have to subsidize poverty wages.

Corporations with record profits can afford to pay workers fairly — and raising the wage helps everyone.

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is burying families in red tape — forcing Oklahomans to prove, over and over, that they still deserve the care they already qualify for.

We deserve a system that values care over paperwork. 💬

Ryan Walters was a test. 📉
Oklahoma’s leaders flunked.

Accountability means speaking up before the damage is done — not waiting until our schools and kids pay the price.

📱 We’ve been texting the Oklahoma Legislature about raising the minimum wage since 2010.
They’ve left us on read for 15 years.

Meanwhile:
📈 Groceries up
🏠 Rent up
📉 Real wages down

SQ 832 lets voters do what lawmakers won’t — raise the wage and restore dignity.

Immigrants are powering Oklahoma. They deserve wages that reflect their hard work.

SQ 832 raises the minimum wage to ensure fairness for ALL workers.

Because Oklahoma runs on immigrants, and fairness runs on fair wages.

The minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009 — but the cost of living hasn’t. 📉📈

If wages had kept pace with inflation, the minimum wage would be over $10 today. Families can’t survive on a wage that’s frozen in time while prices rise.

🚨 HELP WANTED: Real leadership from Oklahoma’s congressional delegation.

Shutdowns don’t show strength — they show failure. Oklahoma deserves leaders who put people over politics.

💊 Oklahoma’s diagnosis is clear: chronic underinvestment, low wages, and unaffordable housing.

We know the cure — living wages, child care support, affordable housing, and fair taxes.
It’s time our leaders stop refilling the wrong prescription.

Since SQ780/781 passed:

✅ 47% drop in new prison sentences
✅ Property crime down 30%+ in metro & rural areas
✅ Stronger treatment court programs

Justice reform works when we invest in people.

Today’s vote for the “Big Beautiful Bill” is a shameful choice to help the ultra-rich while hurting the rest of us.

🍽️ Cuts food for children
🏥 Slashes health care
💸 Gives massive tax breaks to the wealthy

This is not what Oklahomans need.

Specialist care is slipping out of reach in Oklahoma. Policies are driving doctors out, leaving families to travel hours for treatment of chronic conditions like rheumatic disease. Patients deserve care close to home. 💙

If silence worked, things would already be better.

Change happens because people speak up — again and again — even when it feels like no one is listening.

Eviction records shouldn’t follow someone forever. 🏠

Even dismissed cases can block people from housing. Housing policy should help people regain stability — not keep them stuck.

🌎 Tribal Nations = sovereign governments, not racial groups.

Not all public servants lead with heart—but George Nigh did.

His legacy isn’t just about policy. It’s about people.
🕊️ Rest well, Governor.

Oklahoma voters deserve details, not promises — especially before making permanent changes to our state Constitution.

SQ 844 and SQ 846 leave important decisions for future lawmakers to fill in later. We don’t need to amend...

Make your plan to vote NO on both state questions on Aug. 25.

There’s a lot of talk about Thanksgiving being “cheaper this year,” but that only works if you ignore what’s actually in the basket.

...A Norman encampment has been cleared three times in recent months — yet without affordable housing and real support, people are left with nowhere else to go.

Homelessness isn’t a personal failure. It’s a policy failure.
