Congressman Al Green and Other Congressional Black Caucus Members Meet With President Obama

(Washington, DC)—On Tuesday, February 10, 2015, Congressman Al Green (TX-09) attended a meeting at the White House with President Obama and other Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members. In the meeting, the President and the CBC discussed legislative priorities for the 114^th Congress and further Executive action to address the problems facing our nation.

“I applaud President Obama’s willingness to engage in a thoughtful dialogue with Members of Congress about the future of our nation on issues such as trade, the judiciary, and criminal justice reform.  The Obama Administration has consistently been a leader on reforming our criminal justice system such that it is more accountable and transparent. Currently, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver and I are working on the Camera Authorization and Maintenance-Transparency in Policing Act (CAM-TIP) of  2015 so that Congress can join with the President on the issue of transparency and accountability in our criminal justice system.”
