Congressman Al Green Introduces the Annual Original National Domestic Violence Awareness Month Resolution of 2026

Position: Introduces a resolution recognizing October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, highlighting the impact of domestic violence and calling for continued awareness and support for programs working to end it.

(Houston, Texas) — On Thursday, October 29, 2026, Congressman Al Green proudly introduced H.Res.1644, the “Original National Domestic Violence Awareness Month Resolution of 2026.” This bipartisan resolution, which is supported by the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Network to End Domestic Violence, highlights the devastating effects of domestic violence on individuals, families, and communities while calling for continued awareness and support for programs working to end domestic violence nationwide. A copy of the resolution can be accessed by clicking here. This resolution details the widespread impact of domestic violence across the United States, including the disproportionate rates experienced by women and marginalized communities, as well as the lasting effects abuse can have on survivors’ health, safety, housing, and economic security. Through this resolution, Congressman Green, joined by 84 of his colleagues, calls on Congress to continue raising awareness of domestic violence and supporting programs dedicated to preventing and ending abuse nationwide. Congressman Al Green stated, “Domestic violence is an injustice that no person should have to endure and no person of goodwill with knowledge of domestic violence should tolerate. We cannot be silent when survivors are suffering, and we cannot be satisfied with merely mitigating domestic violence when our moral imperative must be to eliminate it. During National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we recommit ourselves to standing with survivors, supporting the advocates and organizations doing lifesaving work, and confronting domestic violence wherever it exists. There can be no justice in a society where people live in fear of violence in their own homes. We must act with compassion, courage, and conviction to end domestic violence.”

ICYMI: The CBS article below, titled “Woman arrested, charged in alleged syringe attack on Jewish man."

Position: The release condemns violence against people because of their religion, including an alleged syringe attack on a Jewish man, and shares a CBS news article about the arrest and charges. It does not take a stance on specific legislation or policy.

Killing people, trying to kill people, or hurting people because they are Jewish or of any other faith is an injustice that no person of goodwill can condone. Such acts must be unequivocally condemned. The CBS article below, titled “Woman arrested, charged in alleged syringe attack on Jewish man,” addresses this issue and speaks for itself.

ICYMI: The Newsmax article below, titled “Trump on Pardon Power: I Don't Want My People to Go Through This."

Position: The release argues that President Trump is participating in a cover-up of unjustified killings by ICE officers, that he will pardon federal employees to shield them from accountability, and that the President should be impeached immediately.

I have been warning, including by way of my last articles of impeachment filed on August 24, 2026, and in a statement at the Homeland Security Committee shadow hearing on October 15, 2026, in Austin, that President Trump is participating in a cover-up and will shield ICE officers from accountability for unjustified killings and their participation in that cover-up. Now, read the article in which he admits that he will pardon federal employees. Although the Newsmax article below, titled “Trump on Pardon Power: I Don't Want My People to Go Through This,” speaks for itself, I say, “To prevent additional unjustified killings and shootings, justice demands the President be impeached immediately. At some point, continuing to deprioritize impeachment will become a complicitous betrayal.” You can access the article by clicking the link here.

Congressman Al Green Secures $900,000 in Federal Funding for Houston Fire Department’s New Mobile Stroke Unit Launch

Position: The release announces $900,000 in federal funding secured in 2022 for the Houston Fire Department's Mobile Stroke Unit and states that federal resources should serve people in need of health care.

(Houston, Texas) — On Monday, October 19, 2026, Congressman Al Greenwill join Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher, the City of Houston, the Houston Fire Department (HFD), and Memorial Hermann for a press conference celebrating the launch of HFD’s new Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) service. In 2022, Congressman Green secured $900,000 in federal funding to support the purchase of the new unit for the Houston Fire Department. Through a partnership with Memorial Hermann, the unit will expand access to lifesaving emergency stroke care and bring Houston closer to achieving comprehensive Mobile Stroke Unit coverage. “When someone has a stroke, every minute matters,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher. “Mobile Stroke Units (MSU) bring diagnosis and treatment directly to patients, and they work. Research that began here in Houston in 2014 found that for every 100 patients an MSU treats, 27 have less lasting disability, and 11 recover with no disability at all. The $900,000 I secured for the Houston Health Department’s Mobile Stroke Unit is already helping patients, and with this new Houston Fire Department unit, made possible by Congressman Al Green’s work, more Houstonians will get faster care when it counts. I am grateful to Mayor Whitmire and the City of Houston for their commitment to expanding this life-saving service across our city, and I will continue working to make innovative treatments like this more accessible to people across our community.” Congressman Al Green stated, “I am proud to have secured $900,000 in federal funding to help bring this life-saving initiative to fruition through our partnership with the City of Houston, the Houston Fire Department, and Memorial Hermann. This is more than an investment in emergency medical services; it is an investment in saving lives, preventing lifelong disabilities, and protecting the well-being of our communities. No person should suffer preventable, permanent disability because critical medical care could not reach them in time. We must continue to make health care a priority for all and ensure that federal resources serve the people who need them most.” Click here to watch the YouTube Live Stream of the press conference at 2:00 p.m. CT.

Washington, DC)—On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Congressman Al Green introduced the “Original Resolution Condemning President Donald J. Trump for his disgraceful, despicable, and disrespectful social media post depicting himself as Jesus Christ, diminishing the dignity of the Presidency and bringing disrepute to the office.”The resolution exposes concerns about the April 12, 2026, “Truth Social” post, describing it as disrespectful and offensive for using artificial intelligence to depict himself (Donald Trump) in a manner consistent with sacred religious imagery.

The American people deserve leadership that respects our shared beliefs and upholds the integrity of this office.”

Congressman Al Green Releases Statement Denouncing the Supreme Court’s Decision that Weakens a Landmark Civil Rights-Era Law

Position: Congressman Green opposes the Supreme Court's decision weakening voting rights protections under civil rights law, arguing it undermines fair representation and erodes protections for marginalized communities' voting power.

(Washington, DC)—On Thursday, April 30, 2026, Congressman Al Green released the following statement: “Yesterday’s decision by the Supreme Court regarding Louisiana’s congressional maps is a profound setback for voting rights and representative democracy. At a time when our nation should be strengthening access to the ballot and ensuring fair representation for all Americans, this ruling instead turns back the clock on the Civil Rights Movement and decades of progress. The Court’s decision undermines the principle that every voice deserves to be heard and that electoral maps must reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. For generations, Americans have fought to dismantle barriers that dilute the voting power of marginalized communities. This ruling threatens to erode those gains and signals a troubling retreat from the protections that have helped move our democracy forward. If we are indeed being forced to revisit the struggles of the 1960s, then we must be prepared to meet this moment with the same resolve those struggles required. Protestation is not only appropriate, it is essential. Peaceful protest has always been a cornerstone of progress in this country, and it remains one of the most powerful tools the American people have to demand justice and accountability. I stand with those who believe in a fair and inclusive democracy. I will continue to work alongside my colleagues in Congress as well as activists and communities across the nation to ensure that the right to vote is protected and that our electoral systems reflect the will of the people, not the interests of a few.”

Congressman Al Green Joins Rev. Dr. Max Miller Jr., Local Faith and Community Leaders to Host Press Conference on Alarming Supreme Court Voting Rights Decision in Louisiana v. Callais

Position: Congressman Green opposes the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, arguing that it weakens voting rights protections and fair representation for marginalized communities, and calls for action to protect voting access and civil rights progress.

(Houston, TX) —On Friday, May 1, 2026, Congressman Al Green will join Rev. Dr. Max Miller Jr., local faith and community leaders, to host a press conference regarding the Supreme Court’s alarming decision in Louisiana v. Callais and its implications for voting rights, fair representation, and representative democracy. The ruling disenfranchises marginalized communities by weakening protections intended to ensure equitable access to political representation and voting power. Rev. Dr. Max Miller Jr. stated, “The Civil Rights Movement was rooted in the church, where faith and justice walked hand in hand. Too many prayed, marched, and sacrificed for the right to vote for us to accept decisions that weaken fair representation. People of faith must continue to stand together to protect the dignity of every voice and every vote.” Congressman Al Green stated, “We are witnessing the erosion of protections that helped ensure fair representation. The Supreme Court’s ruling affects all Americans who believe voting carries value. This alarming decision threatens to dismantle generations of hard-fought progress born out of the Civil Rights Movement. We must protest and protect the fundamental right to vote and ensure every voice is fairly represented in our democracy.” Click here to watch the YouTube Live Stream of the event at 10:30 AM CT.
