Standing Room Only: Greenwood Community Unites for Solutions and Safety

by thegreenwoodbeat The Greenwood Beat - WFPG Blog

Historic Greenwood Avenue was alive with purpose and power as the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Deep Greenwood Foundation hosted a community gathering that brought together leaders, law enforcement, and citizens to address pressing issues and chart a path forward.

Held in the historic heart of Tulsa’s Black Wall Street, the event drew a full house—so full, in fact, it was standing room only. The gathering reflected the spirit of unity, urgency, and determination that continues to define Greenwood’s legacy.

Security was tight and respectful, with Officer Mark Jeans, security for the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, ensuring a safe and orderly space. Among those in attendance were Tulsa County Sheriff Rick Regalado, a member of the Tulsa Police Department, and representatives from Betty Jackson Counseling Services. Parents, grandparents, business owners, and organizational leaders filled the room, each ready to engage in meaningful dialogue and planning.

Throughout the meeting, the crowd engaged in thoughtful discussions that touched on key issues—most notably, safety and security within the Greenwood District. Concerns were raised, ideas were exchanged, and solutions were proposed. From improving community-police relations to enhancing neighborhood watch initiatives, security was not just addressed—it was prioritized.

Another important area of focus was the event and vendor permit process. Attendees received crucial information about how to navigate the city’s requirements, what to expect when hosting public events on Greenwood, and how to effectively advocate for necessary changes to outdated or burdensome procedures.

Dr. Angela K. Chambers, Founder and CEO of The Greenwood Beat – WFPG, took the floor to share impactful updates with the crowd. She highlighted the ongoing Open Mic Nights, held every Thursday at 6 PM at 104 N. Greenwood Ave, as a vital platform for community voice and dialogue. Dr. Chambers also announced the addition of GRAND Mental Health and Family and Children Services as new partners offering free counseling services.

“We as the community must talk about our issues,” Dr. Chambers said. “We can only go to so many meetings to hear people talk at us. We know what’s going on—and we need to fix it.”

Her message resonated deeply with attendees and emphasized the importance of not only having a seat at the table, but also using your voice once you’re there.

The event also sparked new collaborations and inspired action plans. Ideas were hatched for new initiatives focused on youth development, economic opportunity, and mental health access, signaling the community’s commitment to holistic growth.

The Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and the Deep Greenwood Foundation’s joint effort was a reminder that when community stakeholders gather, real progress can happen. By creating a space for voices to be heard, questions to be answered, and partnerships to be formed, this standing-room-only event did more than fill a room—it fueled a movement.
