Our communities deserve the political power and funding that they need.
Our communities deserve an honest and #faircount in the #2020Census.
The #CoronavirusPandemic demands we fight harder to ensure an accurate count of communities of color.
Join us tonight at the front lines of the fight for a fair count ft. @JNelsonLDF, @acepedaderieux, @tomTMwolf & Osita Nwanevu.

”...we are on pace to become a majority minority country by 2045...communities of color should feel welcome to the Census process, and should be encouraged.”

“The same way that the right to vote has been a struggle since the inception of this country, the right to be counted has been a struggle...because it's about the allocation of political power.”
#CountMeIn
Incarcerated people should be counted where their loved ones are & where they will return to.
That's why @NAACP_LDF fights tooth and nail to end prison-based gerrymandering.
"The power of the number of people in our country who are people of color and the power that they represent in the halls of our government is wildly disproportionate, and that's why this count is so very critical." #CountMeIn #Census2020
LDF Assoc. Director-Counsel @JNelsonLDF's vision for a fair 2030 Census:
✔️ Incarcerated people counted in their hometowns
✔️ An accurate count of under-counted communities
✔️ Fewer barriers to participating in democracy
