“I’m a Democrat!” – Al Green Slams GOP Redistricting and Attacks on Social Security

Texas Congressman Al Green delivers a passionate and unapologetic speech alongside House Democratic leaders and Texas legislators, pushing back against what he calls a blatant attack on democracy — racial gerrymandering and voter suppression in Texas.

In this powerful address, Rep. Green defends Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and healthcare access, warning against Republican efforts to privatize or dismantle these vital programs. He draws on history, quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reminder that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”, and warns that if this injustice is allowed in Texas, it will spread to communities across the nation.

Rep. Green also calls out what he sees as racism in redistricting, accusing President Trump’s Justice Department of using race to divide Americans and justify unfair maps. He challenges the press to speak the truth about racial bias in the political process, and makes clear that Democrats will not back down in protecting the rights, representation, and dignity of all Americans.

This speech is more than a reaction to a single map — it’s a call to action to defend democracy, fairness, and equality in every state, for every citizen.
