If you are feeling overwhelmed by the world today, I want to remind you that you are not alone. Some of you don’t need that reminder, because I already see you doing what you can to change things for the better! We can’t control everything that happens, but we can decide what we do with […]

Let me guess: You want great public schools, smooth and sturdy roads and bridges, fire and emergency protection, clean water, opportunities for more and better jobs, access to affordable high quality health care, in safe and collaborative communities – right? It isn’t actually a guess, it is more like cultural commonsense. We may differ on […]

As many prepare for time with loved ones, comfort foods, and gratitude, I’m delighted to be able to offer a gift from many of us to all of us. Together Oklahoma members in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Norman are working hard to plan some upcoming events.  We will be gathering in the first weeks of […]

Thanks to all of you who voted and helped inform your fellow voters! Now that that is behind us, I’ve heard a lot of folks say they are “ready for a break, holidays are just around the corner and that election was exhausting”. It’s a good thing that many of us will have time with […]

Y’all remember how we used to send little kids into mines and factories to work, right?

It is safe to say that either you are confused and/or maybe conflicted about these important state questions and/OR you know someone who is.  We need your help to make sure that Oklahoma voters know what they are voting for! If you’ve voted before, you know that these state questions can be worded in legal terms […]

Some of you have been with us since Together Oklahoma was born out of our victory over the unaffordable tax cut proposals of 2012. Many of you are newer to this effort.  Over the years, we’ve conducted several campaigns and tried different ways to help Oklahomans to advocate for better policies in our state. Now we’re […]

If you are like me, you’ve been in a ballot box reading the state questions, looking at the names of judges or county commissioners, and wondering how in the world you should vote.  Let’s not be confused on election day this year!  You hear from me every week about the budget being a moral document […]

[Note: The launch of the new membership process for Together Oklahoma is still coming soon, but not quite as soon as we promised in last week’s email. We’re busy training TOK volunteer leaders to welcome new members and make sure they get the best possible first impression of Together Oklahoma. Thanks for bearing with us!] […]
