Oklahoma is 1 of only 6 states that doesn't protect tenants from landlord retaliation for requesting repairs to address health or safety concerns. HB 2109 will help correct this. Ask your Senator to vote YES on HB 2109 on Thursday! secure.everyaction.com/41RA3…

Such important data! Also when remembering that Oklahoma incarcerates 18 year olds at 77% more than the national average (and 65+ at 72% more than the national average).
1 in 10 people in state prison today was homeless before turning 18. 1 in 5 was in public housing before 18. 1 in 5 was in foster care. The U.S continues to allow kids to grow up in poverty - and then end up in prison.
