Tulsa’s Title V Commissions have each released their 2022 annual reports.
Each commission is staffed and supported by the Mayor’s Office of Resilience and Equity (MORE). Information on each commission and its 2022 annual reports include:
Human Rights Commission
The Human Rights Commission’s function is to foster mutual respect and understanding and to create an atmosphere conducive to the promotion of amicable relations among all members of the community.
