On May 27, 2026, more than 100 OKC residents joined the ACLU of Oklahoma, ACLU National, Dream Action OK, Oklahomans for Privacy, and DeFlockOKC at Mayflower Congregational Church to demand action on Flock surveillance. Three council members showed up. One said his preference is the maximalist position: cancel the contract entirely.
The May 27 town hall turned a documented record into a public movement - one with named council members on the inside arguing for full contract termination. Here's what came out of it.
Standing-room turnout at Mayflower Congregational Church. Coverage from Free Press OKC, KOCO 5, and The Gayly.
James Cooper (Ward 2), JoBeth Hamon (Ward 6), and Camal Pennington (Ward 7) attended and engaged. Cooper publicly stated his preference is "the maximalist position" - full contract termination. Pennington signaled active conversations are underway.
Carter, Avers, Stone, Hinkle, and Stonecipher were absent. The contract renewal vote is in July. Look up your ward and reach out before then.
The current Flock contract expires at the end of June. The council vote on renewal happens in early July. Every email, every public comment, every conversation between now and then is part of the record.
"Flock is the most problematic ALPR company in the country. Oklahoma City appears to be all in on Flock, and that is quite troubling."- Chad Marlow, ACLU National Senior Policy Counsel, at the May 27 town hall
The town hall is over. The renewal vote is in about 60 days. Three council members are already aligned. Five have not yet engaged. The single highest-leverage thing you can do right now is sign the ACLU of Oklahoma petition - it goes directly to all eight council members, the City Manager, and the Mayor.
