ACLU of Oklahoma

James Baldwin’s work challenged our nation to live up to its promises of liberty and justice for all. His honest explorations of race, sexuality, and poverty have often landed his works on banned book lists across the country.

If you or your loved ones have been impacted by President Trump’s anti-trans passport policy, we’re here with more information.

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE.

We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

Tell Congress: Stop the Big Not-So-Beautiful Bill The Senate just passed one of the most dangerous and harmful budget bills ever – featuring the largest cuts to Medicaid in history, billions to fund mass deportations, and functionally "defunding" Pla...

The House of Representatives will soon vote on a budget bill that would kick 12 million people off Medicaid, defund Planned Parenthood and supercharge the Trump administration’s mass deportation machine.

The time to be loud is NOW. Tell your representative: Vote NO.

We have the right to be visible, loud, and proud — during Pride Month and every other month of the year.

Each year, we celebrate Juneteenth to commemorate the 1865 emancipation of enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas.

We honor Juneteenth by continuing to fight for Black liberation.

After the Civil War officially ended, historians tell us Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to tell more than 250,000 enslaved people that they were free.

For the transgender young people and their families in Oklahoma, you are not alone in this fight. We will continue to fight in courtrooms and communities across the state to ensure all people–including transgender people–have the freedom to shape their own futures.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect.

This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.

The Trump administration in recent weeks has threatened to suspend habeas corpus to carry out its unlawful deportation agenda.

Habeas corpus is a crucial line of defense against abuse of power.

📣 DISSENT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT 📣

Our power is in our community solidarity, and our commitment to rights and liberties for all.

Know your rights when protesting, including immigration rights, and review some protest tips from our organizing team.

58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide.

This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

On June 14, we are joining the rest of the country in protest. Communities will gather to condemn President Trump’s abuses of power and send a clear message that the government must serve the people – not the president. More info here: www.nokings.org

If you’re protesting, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

While President Trump spends millions of taxpayer dollars to throw himself a birthday party, we’re taking to the streets.

Fight the administration’s abuses of power with us on June 14. Find a rally near you.

A person holds a handmade protest sign that reads "hands off our immigrant neighbors" amid a rally.

President Trump is trying to sow chaos and fear, but we will always show up to defend our immigrant communities.
