$7.25 is a poverty wage.

Our minimum wage has been stuck in 2009. It wasn’t enough then, and it’s only gotten harder to afford rent, food, gas, medical bills, and everything else. If SQ 832 passes, 1 in 8 Oklahomans will see an immediate raise in wages.

Benefits of a living wage:
- keeps up with inflation
- increases job satisfaction
- strengthens local economy
- financial security = safer communities

Let’s build an economy that works for workers! Vote YES to raise the minimum wage on June 16, 2026

❤️THANK YOU CHOCTAW NATION❤️

In December, ICE began scouting an old Big Lots warehouse in Durant, Oklahoma for a new detention facility. This Wednesday, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma swooped in and purchased the 1.24-million-square-foot warehouse instead. According to Project Salt Box, this move prevents an estimated 8,500 detention beds from being created.

Thank you Choctaw Nation for protecting the community!❤️
