NAACP Joints Hands with Vernon AME Church for the Community

NAACP Joins Hands with Vernon AME Church for the Community


The Mayor of Tulsa has recently announced a tiny homes village for homeless people in the city. However, the project isn’t the solution to the prevalent homelessness issue. Rather, it’d create further problems for would-be tenants as well as the community.

The project was earlier proposed in other cities in Oklahoma but was rejected. Now, Mayor G. T. Bynum has approved the project without community involvement and is ignoring its long-term negative effects on the community.

Ms. Jane Malone has, therefore, planned a prayer at the Historic Vernon AME Church followed by a journey to City Hall. NAACP Tulsa branch#6143 is joining Ms. Malone, the community, and Historic Vernon AME Church to support the community.

Join Us Today at the Historic Vernon AME Church

The planning commission’s responsibility is to focus on projects that can support community development. However, the Tiny Home Community won’t serve the purpose and rather lead to safety issues for everyone.

We cannot let them just bypass the process and build this tiny home community for the homeless in this Northside community. So, it’s time to raise our voices as a community against this action.

NAACP stands with Ms. Jane Malone and the Chamberlain community. Join us at the Historic Vernon AME Church at 311 N Greenwood Avenue on Wednesday, February 15 at 10 AM. Associate Pastor of Vernon AME Church and President of NAACP Tulsa, Francetta L. Mays will lead the prayer for the community.

After the prayer, we will journey to the City Hall to raise a collective voice against the project.

NAACP Tulsa#6143 is the voice of the community and will keep speaking up against injustice and projects like the Tiny Home Village that go against the community. Join us today at the Vernon AME Church and on the journey to City Hall.
