join us at the 2024 conference:
Saturday, August 24th 10am - 4pm CT
The Freedom Sessions (TFS) is Freedom Oklahoma’s new program that aims to create a platform that provides education, awareness, and community engagement for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their allies. Join us at year-round events and at our annual conference—a one-day convening of 2SLGBTQ+ communities from around the state where we learn and develop best practices for organizing, community care, power building, and sustaining our liberation movement together.
Building the Oklahoma we deserve is going to take all of us. Here is to our collective liberation!
Freedom, as in a future bound with each other.
