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

April 30, 2026 Press Release (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.
