Why 2020 is Important
Rita Bosworth, Executive Director of Sister District explains why 2020 is so important, especially for state legislature. As you plan your year and determine what kind of civic engagement you will undertake, remember that this is the year where states matter most. 2020 is a census year, which means that the people we elect to state legislatures in November will be the ones in power during the next districting cycle; they will draw the voting district maps for the next decade.
The fight for a fair census is not over
Co-Founder and Political Director Gaby Goldstein writes: “Even if the citizenship question does not end up on the 2020 census, there are serious hurdles ahead in census implementation, many of which fall to states to manage and mitigate.”
