From: info=chn.org@mail.salsalabs.net [mailto:info=chn.org@mail.salsalabs.net] On Behalf Of Coalition on Human Needs Sent: Monday, August 06, 2018 1:28 PM To: Judy Mortrude <jmortrude@clasp.org> Subject: Deadline for Census Comments Tomorrow, August 7 [http://org.salsalabs.com/o/125/images/CHN%20logo%20green.JPG] [http://org.salsalabs.com/o/125/images/For%20Monday.png] Every Person Should Count -- And Be Counted. Hi Judy, Tomorrow - Tuesday, August 7, at midnight, Eastern time - is the deadline for sending comments to the Commerce Department about the 2020 Census - in particular, telling them to get rid of a question about citizenship the Trump Administration wants to add. You can leave a public comment<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=7GShfE0TW9EK6UR4mCI4y5YpBGICASUp> urging that the Citizenship question not be included and that the 2020 Census be conducted in a fair, professional, and nonpartisan manner. A citizenship question will depress response rates, particularly among immigrant communities and communities of color. That, in turn, will diminish political representation, from city councils and school boards to state legislatures and all the way up to Congress. It will mean less funding for communities that need it most for education, nutrition, housing, health care, and more, because the resources these programs get depends on an accurate count. The comment deadline is Aug. 7. Click here<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=L3Qvy7Oy0fezqduGB7QzOZYpBGICASUp> for an easy way to comment. How important is this issue? It is so important that 131 groups, including CHN, have joined two lawsuits<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FewzhMZcqRs7IT8uPZylFpYpBGICASUp> to fight the Citizenship question. And lots of comments in the public record are important as courts weigh what to do. We believe every person should count – and be counted. Please leave your public comment<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=KO7A9N78bimvIh3A519SuZYpBGICASUp> today. THANKS!
