Submit a Comment on the Census Today!

Time Range For Action Alert: 
August 3, 2018 to August 7, 2018

Right NOW, the public has the ability to impact the debate through public comments to the Department of Commerce. We must communicate to Secretary Ross that the American public wants an accurate and fair Census. Including a citizenship question on the Census undermines the participation of eligible persons and threatens the overall Census process that is vital to our democracy. We must do everything in our power to correct this issue before it’s too late.

Including a citizenship question on the Census will:
  
  • suppress response rates in underserved communities,
  • disproportionately impact the allocation of resources for government services in all communities across the country
  • jeopardize our ability to obtain an accurate count of all person in the United States
