Dear Friend, What a year it has been! Through the challenges brought on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, OK Policy has remained dedicated to sharing fact-based analysis to help Oklahomans better understand how state policies impact their lives, particularly for those whose financial well-being has been most affected by the global health crisis. These challenges have only compounded the existing adversities many Oklahomans face daily. During every step of our journey, your support has reaffirmed our shared commitment to create an Oklahoma that is more equitable for everyone. Support Our Mission Your investment in Oklahoma’s future does not go unnoticed. Thanks to your support in 2021, OK Policy was able to: - Help connect more than 220,000 Oklahomans to life-changing health care through Medicaid expansion through statewide partnerships,
- Release A Better Path Forward, a comprehensive report detailing Oklahoma’s tax, budget, and revenue systems, while also providing a road map of potential solutions to address the state’s chronic revenue issues,
- Push lawmakers to pass a new law limiting driver’s license suspensions for non-driving violations, providing more opportunity for justice-involved Oklahomans to lead productive lives, and
- Successfully advocate to make the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit refundable, which puts cash back in the pockets of working Oklahomans.
While we have come far, we still have far to go. That’s why we’re calling on friends like YOU to help us invest in a better future.
