We kicked off Pride month last week by joining OKC Pride Alliance for their opening ceremonies to read and sign their Pride Month Proclamation alongside the ACLU of Oklahoma.

A huge thank you to the Oklahoma Pride Alliance for having us!

Last week, our clients visited the Oklahoma State Capitol and the Clara Luper National Sit-In Plaza. They learned about our state's beginnings, the Trail of Tears, and the pivotal role Oklahoma played in the national Civil Rights Movement, from Clara Luper's 1958 Katz Drug Store sit-ins to the groundbreaking 1948-1950 U.S. Supreme Court desegregation rulings. Our visit served as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and learning from our state's history.

We're so excited to partner with Chat Pile for their upcoming album release show!

Proceeds from Chat Pile's very special show on September 12th at Tower Theatre OKC will benefit young people navigating out of homelessness at Sisu.

Unhoused youth in OKC are finding shelter, but finding a way out is a different story.

Sisu Executive Director Rachel Bradley wrote about it in The Oklahoman, including what it will take from all of us to help change that. Whether you're an employer, a landlord or part of a faith community, there's a role for you in this work.

For Oklahoma City's unhoused youths, community support is needed to help close the gap between a shelter bed and a stable home.

We had a blast getting crafty last week for bag charm making for a cause supporting Sisu! A huge thank you to Third Space Studio, Sisu board member Levi Harrel-Hallmark, and everyone who joined us to support our clients!

Huge congratulations to our client, "R", who graduated last week, not only from high school but also as a CNA! They have worked incredibly hard to stay focused and achieve their goals, and we are so proud of them 📚

Happy Pride Month!

At Sisu, we believe that all youth deserve access to safe, affirming spaces and the support they need to live their lives authentically.

Pride isn't just a month, it's a movement. We're dedicated to providing identity-affirming services for all youth, every day.

Earlier this month, youth group members from Christ's Legacy Church joined us to provide and serve dinner to the youth staying in our drop-in center and shelter. We're so grateful for the support and generosity of these young people!
