The official 2020 Census Day was April 1. In Washington, $16.7 billion in tax dollars for our communities are at stake, along with our democratic representation in Congress. We cannot afford to miss counting anyone in this census, especially traditionally undercounted people of color, immigrants, tribes, rural communities, and young children. We often say in our legislative work that budgets are moral documents. In this case, the data that informs budgets and allocations of resources has moral implications too! It’s not too late to be counted. Go to https://census2020.gov to be counted and encourage others to do the same!
