• Count only US citizens and green card holders. 
• NOT count other visa holders or undocumented immigrants.  
• Stop collecting race and ethnicity data.  
• Ban the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data from any future Census Bureau surveys, including the census. 
• Create bad and unreliable federal data. 
• Erode a key doctrine of representation: “one person, one vote.” 

In short, it will have major adverse effects across daily life in our democracy. These changes will severely distort population counts, create inaccurate representations of communities during apportionment and redistricting, and disrupt how state and local governments plan essential public services.  

These changes are unprecedented and unconstitutional. While the Census Bureau recently provided an extension until November 2nd, a rule change this drastic should be given at least 90 days for public comment. Now is the time to make your voice heard before November 2nd.

Use this online form to tell Secretary Lutnick and the Census Bureau to roll back these proposed rules and to extend the public comment period until December 10th.
