Our Mission

Freedom Oklahoma works to build an Oklahoma where all 2SLGBTQ+ people have the safety, community, and resources to thrive.

Freedom Oklahoma advocates and organizes across Oklahoma and across the 39 sovereign tribal nations that call this land home to build a future where all Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and fuller spectrum of people whose sexuality or gender or romantic identity exists beyond a heteronormative, binary framework (2SLGBTQ+), have the safety, resources, and community to thrive. In Oklahoma, and everywhere we call home.

Our vision

We reimagine our future and organize to build it. Together.

At Freedom Oklahoma, we know 2SLGBTQ+ people have been under attack on this land since settler colonizers first arrived. That history is at the root of this work. The undoing and the reimagining. We believe it is critical to build power and engage in education to achieve collective, community-based safety. While we fight harmful policy attempts, we also search for opportunities to build and move forward with and in community that is caring for one another. Because we can live in abundance when we share. It is tough and intentional work, and we do it imperfectly, accountable for the harm, always striving to do better, to grow our table, to make sure everyone in the community finds their home in this movement, while especially centering our community members who are most often marginalized and excluded. As an organization, we will forsake popularity and even funding to avoid compromising on behalf of the rights and safety of 2SLGBTQ+ people. Two-Spirit, Transgender, and Queer liberation is the work. This is not about rights within systems that were never meant for us, it's about freedom. And the 2SLGBTQ+ community is not a monolith, and therefore we as a single organization cannot claim to do this work on behalf of everyone. Rather we seek to do work with and among our community members, with a growing coalition of accomplices, and until the community safety we seek is realized. The future we're building is not just safe, it's joyful.

Can we count on you to be a part of it?
