"Investigative reporting organization ProPublica disclosed last week that a Justice Department official formally asked the Census Bureau<https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-justice-department-pushes-for-citizenship-question-on-census-alarming-experts> to add a question to the 2020 Census. Adding any question at this stage would be dicey, given that the bureau often runs extensive field tests before fiddling with its forms, ensuring that last-minute changes do not throw off its counting efforts. Worse, the Justice Department requested that the bureau inquire about people's citizenship status<https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4340651-Text-of-Dec-2017-DOJ-letter-to-Census.html>. This threatens to sabotage the 2020 count.

Here's more distressing news about the Census: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/01/trumps-pick-to-run-2020-census-has-defended-racial-gerrymandering-and-voter-suppression-laws/# In light of Brunell's appointment to head the Census, could it be that we'd be better off if the Census is delayed? That being said, I can't imagine they would skip the 2020 Census. Is anyone interested in collaborating to mobilize adult ed programs to educate adult learners about the importance of the Census? Do you know of existing instructional materials to that effect perhaps from 2010 that could be updated? Silja .

Very distressing news…I do think that adult education programs can help to bring this important issue to light. We can’t afford to have racial gerrymandering and millions of people unaccounted for during this process. Thomas Nash – Adult Education Director Windham Raymond Adult Education 406 Gray Road, Windham, ME 04062 Ph: (207) 892-1819 Mo: (207) 632-0633 Em: tnash@rsu14.org “It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.” -Hugh Laurie CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and attachments, if any, may contain confidential information, which is privileged and protected from disclosure by Federal and State confidentiality laws, rules or regulations.
