OG&E and OKC Black Chamber Presents: The Energy Forum 

Tune in online with OG&E and the Oklahoma City Black Chamber of Commerce in an energy webinar on January 27th at 10 am. This virtual event will provide tips and suggestions for small businesses and families on steps for weather preparedness during Oklahoma’s winter and stormy seasons. This forum will focus on everything from actions to take when power is lost, safety measures, low-cost winterizing actions, and simple tips that assist during stormy times.  At the end of the seminar, two lucky people in attendance will receive $50 in the form of a coupon on their utility bill.

The Most Important Count of the Decade

Since 1790, our country has conducted a count of every household in America. The goal of the census is to count every single person, only one, and in the correct place. This includes how many people live or stay at each home, other demographics such as the age, sex, and race of each person.

  $675 BILLION is at Stake!

Every single year, more then $675 billion dollars are divided up in the form of federal funds, grants, and other support to states, counties, and community's. This money helps to provide funding for schools, hospitals, roads, public works, and other critically important programs. The determination of where to spend this money all relies on the count in the US Census report.
Furthermore, the nation's population, not wealth or land is what is used to divide political power in the country. If we are going to hold elected officials accountable, we must first, provide them with accurate numbers.
