Civic engagement in cities is the process of including the voices, ideas, and capacity of residents in the work of government. Community Engagement is the process of working collaboratively with and through groups of people affiliated by geographic proximity, issue, or similar situations to address issues affecting their well-being. The MORE office works in partnership with dozens of organizations, individuals, schools, higher education institutions, social service providers, businesses, and many more to advance policies, programs, and practice changes across our four resilience pillars and six functional areas.
The MORE team provides strategic and administrative support to six public commissions that represent and advocate for women, Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and human rights.
For more information about these commissions please email the Mayor's Office of Resilience and Equity at: Resilient@cityoftulsa.org. The staff liaison will direct your question to the appropriate commission. All commission meetings are open to the public or you can follow on TGOV Online.

Mayor G.T. Bynum signed an executive order creating the Beyond Apology Commission. The Commission was a key recommendation of the 2023 Beyond Apology Report which resulted from a community-led process by the same name.
The purpose of the Commission is to reconcile, restore, and unite Tulsa in a goal of shared prosperity for all Tulsans by advancing and restoring economic mobility, prosperity, and intergenerational wealth for the 1921 Race Massacre survivors, their descendants, and residents of North Tulsa, particularly those in the historic Greenwood District and surrounding neighborhoods.

City Hall on the Go (CHOTG) is a national model implemented in many cities that brings city hall services into various underserved neighborhoods. The goal of CHOTG is to increase accessibility for residents by allowing personal interactions, getting questions answered, learning about city programs, and handling certain city business in a neighborhood instead of going to City Hall.
As part of the City's Resilience strategy, part of which aims to transform city and regional systems, CHOTG aims to empower a broad range of stakeholders while promoting civic and engaged communities.
To stay up to date with the latest information about City Hall on the Go email resilient@cityoftulsa.org to be added to our email list.
The City of Tulsa hosts Equity Dialogues to help bring Tulsans together to talk about inequities in a safe/brave space where everyone can learn from one another. Dialogues are part of the process of normalizing conversations about racial equity and are part of our city’s resilience strategy. Our office also hosts free trainings for Tulsans to be able to facilitate dialogues.
