Comrade Clayton Tucker likes to brag about being a “co-founder” of Killeen Creators – ostensibly a group that does “urban farms” and brings “fresh food” to all the “food desserts” out there in Killeen. It supposedly allows those poor, downtrodden inner-city black folks a chance to grow their own tomatoes and stuff.
Turns out, that is total bullshit. The reality is far different.
Killeen Creators was hatched in May of 2020 – during the middle of the Covid nonsense. While Comrade Clayton was driving around in his car by himself wearing a mask like a pussy, he was ALSO helping set up a joke non-profit that currently eats $290,000 in tax dollars….something he has failed to mention for the last five years. But the Killeen Daily Herald sure mentioned it!
DOGE cuts could spell end of Killeen Creators nonprofit, board chair says
No WONDER Clayton Tucker has been so hostile towards DOGE and Elon Musk. It has nothing to do with “democracy” or “oligarchy” and everything to do with Clayton’s ox getting gored. What a total scumbag.
Here are some snippets:
Killeen Creators, a community nonprofit that operates a community garden,art therapy and other programs, is under threat due to potential cuts on the federal level of AmeriCorps by DOGE.
DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, has been cutting programs without congressional approval. The department recently put leaders of AmeriCorps on administrative leave while it looks into cuts, according to Politico.
Kristin Wright, co-founder and board chair of Killeen Creators, told the Herald on Friday that the cuts made by DOGE may cause Killeen Creators to shut down operations.
“If (the cuts) go through and we have to let go of our AmeriCorps real quickly without any planning, it could be the end of Killeen Creators and our programs,” Wright said.
She explained that Killeen Creators relies very heavily on volunteers for AmeriCorps, which is essentially the domestic Peace Corps.
Killeen Creatorscurrently has 10 volunteers who work between 10 and 26 hours. They maintain community gardensas well as the Recovery Clubhouse, which is a program that gives relief to those suffering from addiction and mental health issues.
“What I got from AmeriCorps was the notice DOGE mandated an 80 percent cut for AmeriCorps, and the national home staff was sent home with administrative pay,” Wright said.
AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps said Tuesday in an email distributed to volunteer organizations that they would end their participation with the program “due to programmatic circumstances beyond your control” the Associated Press reported.
Wright says it is likely that they are going to have to let go of their 10 volunteers this month.
She pointed out that the AmeriCorps volunteers bring in as much as $290,000 in living stipend money, which goes directly into the Killeen community.
SUMMARY:
Kristin Wright may or may not be a relative of Clayton Tucker. His mom’s maiden name is “Wright” (Terry Wright Tucker). I’m guessing this might be her sister or something. One hell of a coincidence, anyways.
Clayton and Kristin have repeatedly presented this project as helping poor, food-deprived citizens help themselves by growing their own food. But the FACT is that there are 10 AmeriCorps clowns doing all the work!
The AmeriCorps clowns aren’t technically “volunteering” since they are getting $290,000 in tax dollars to perform these duties!
Americorps is a far-left indoctrination group that has questionable finances.
Taxpayers supply $1B annually, and AmeriCorps is 7 years without clean audit
Killeen Creators is a joke non-profit skimming YOUR tax dollars to provide horseshit like THIS, taken straight from their events calendar:
Art Journaling Class – Kristin & Viv = AmeriCorps – Journaling, but with art! This is a safe, no judgment space where you can use art to work through stress, trauma, and complex feelings. Healing through art is what we’re all about. This class will have you taking a deep look at yourself, your feelings, and your needs. You will have your own journal that you add to every week and can look back on to see your own journey.
In the end, it is just another misrepresentation and grift by Clayton Tucker. Not to mention another hand in the taxpayer cookie jar.
