Many Oklahoma voters have already cast their vote in favor of criminal system reform by marking @yeson805 on their absentee ballots. As Election Day approaches, voters going to the polls in person are faced with increasing amounts of misinformation about State Question 805.
This includes arguments that State Question 805 will be bad for people subjected to intimate partner and domestic violence. That’s simply not true. Let’s walk through the facts 
Myth: all survivors of domestic violence oppose State Question 805 because 805 will prevent Oklahoma from responding to domestic violence.
Fact: many survivors oppose criminalization and support @yeson805. https://twitter.com/yeson805/status/1317102070269415424?s=20

Advocates who work directly with survivors of intimate partner and domestic violence support 805 too. https://medium.com/@mollyb24/im-a-domestic-violence-advocate-and-i-support-state-question-805-519b6e967064
Oklahoma incarcerates people at the highest per capita rate in the world. But it’s one of the most dangerous places for women to live. Incarceration isn’t making women in Oklahoma safer.
Rather than supporting survivors of domestic violence, Oklahoma often incarcerates them too. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/skbaer/tondalo-hall-abuse-release-prison-oklahoma
Survivors know their suffering is being politicized to prevent critical changes that will disrupt the ongoing harms of the criminal legal system. In March, I encouraged Oklahomans to ignore the dog whistles and vote @yeson805. https://oklahoman.com/article/5657677/point-of-view-help-domestic-violence-victims-with-real-solutions
Months later, my message is the same. Oklahoma could save $186 million from the passage of State Question 805, money that is much better spent by investing in people, not prisons--investments that could actually prevent intimate partner and domestic violence.
Don’t just take my word for it. Listen to the people on the ground. https://okpolicy.org/addressing-misinformation-about-sq-805/
