Glover, who's best known for his roles in the "Lethal Weapon" movies and "The Color Purple," also called upon Houston civil rights, faith and political leaders to establish a task force to protect the First Amendment rights of Houston's janitors, after addressing more than 300 people at a rally that followed his delegation meeting. U.S. Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee and Al Green, both D-Houston, also spoke before the crowd.
"As citizens, it is our duty and responsibility to stand up for a living wage, to make this change and take this country back," Glover told the crowd. "At the same time that corporations are reporting record profits, janitors are not making a living wage."
