Donald Trump and his administration have confirmed that a dangerous question on citizenship status will NOT appear on the 2020 Census -- but the upcoming count could still be in danger...

Last month, the Supreme Court suspended the administration’s ability to add this question to the survey, calling their reason for including it “contrived.” But showing no concern for the rule of law, Trump initially refused to back down -- scrambling to find a way to put the question back on.

After a week of confusion and contradiction within the administration, the President finally dropped his efforts. This is a huge win for our democracy -- but the 2020 Census may still be in jeopardy.

The Census is constitutionally required to count every person living in the United States. But without proper funding and manpower, we risk an “undercount” -- cutting millions out of political representation and jeopardizing the very foundation of our democracy.

The 2020 Census will shape our nation’s government, public policy, and budgets for an entire decade. The data we gather determines everything from congressional district maps to local resource allocation -- like school funding, the number of firehouses in our neighborhoods, and highway and road repair budgets.

People of color -- particularly in Black and Latinx communities -- are at an especially high risk of going uncounted in an underfunded Census. This would deprive countless Americans of resources, political representation, and the right to a democracy that truly represents all of us.

We can’t let that happen. Add your name and tell lawmakers in your state to make sure the 2020 Census is fully funded.
