Drawing of a uterus and the words: Plan B is legal in the state of Oklahoma! Anyone can buy Plan B or any other brand of emergency contraceptive. It is not an abortion pill and will not end a pregnancy.
Drawing of a pack of birth control pills and the words: What is Plan B? Plan B is an emergency contraceptive that can be taken up to 72 hours after sex to delay ovulation and prevent conception. It is not a regular form of daily birth control. It has no impact on future fertility.
Drawing of people texting and the words: How to get yours free: If you can't afford to buy Plan B, and it has been less than 72 hours, text the number below. Your text will be anonymous and we will respond within 24 hours to provide it to you. Text: 918-308-9008

"SUGGESTIONS FOR AN

IF YOUR COMMUNITY HAS A RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK, REPORT
VERIFIED ICE SIGHTINGS TO THEM.
IF YOUR COMMUNITY DOES NOT HAVE A RAPID RESPONSE NETWORK, CONSIDER CREATINC ONE WITH
NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT SYSTEMS IN PLACE."

AUTHENTICITY OF POSTS:
DOES THIS POST CONTAIN SPECIFIC INFORMATION LIKE THE DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION: CITY AND STATE?
IS A USERNAME ATTACHED? ANONYMOUS SCREENSHOTS QUICKLY BECOME A GAME OF TELEPHONE.
DOES THIS POST HAVE A PHOTO OF THE EVENT? IS IT ICE?"
I forgot alt text so here's the text in the graphics:

Ah heck I forgot again. 😮💨
Check out this website for reporting and tracking ICE sightings in real time:

We've been seeing a lot of posts regarding ICE sightings which have turned out to be either false or partly false. Even with good intentions, misinformation can cause undue stress, trauma, and panic. Here are some tips to help navigate these reports. Share around!

I'm in the process of prepping food for the @cooperationtulsa.bsky.social harvest celebration this weekend. I'm making the squash soup from some of the squash we grew out at Flat Rock. Plenty for those who tended the land plus more for the neighbors who live around the garden. 😋
