Tri-Caucus Townhall Meeting

On February 11th, Congressman Al Green joined his fellow Members for a townhall discussion titled “Disaster Relief and Public Policy: Are We Being Served?” The event was hosted by the Congressional Tri-Caucus, which is composed of Congressional Members from the Congressional Asian Pacific Islander Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The meeting focused on the existing challenges and the perspectives of various local community leaders including: evaluating cultural competency in relief efforts; ensuring the civil rights of immigrant communities; assessing the local economic and political impact, including assisting displaced workers; and assessing the long term impact of the ongoing demographic population shifts on political participation and representation.
