Census 101: Everybody Counts

Census counts matter.
They determine political representation -- voting maps (federal, state and local) are redrawn based on them, and Minnesota risks losing a congressional seat depending on the 2020 count; they dictate how much federal funding is allocated to each state. Minnesota currently receives $15 billion/year (about $28k per person over 10 years), and the census is a major factor in planning services - like hospitals, schools, senior centers as well as commerce across the state.
So, it's crucial that EVERYONE is counted. We ALL benefit if EVERYONE is counted. And yet, every census, many Minnesotans go uncounted. So join us to learn what is being done in Minnesota to ensure a full count - in particular what's being done to reach historically under-counted communities across the state - and how you can help.
Speakers confirmed:
- Andrew Virden, State Demographic Center
- Monica Hurtado, Voices for Racial Justice
- Jeffrey Her, Asian American Organizing Project
