Colleagues, Here is an update on the status of the Schatz-Murkowski 2020 Census Resolution. The National Coalition for Literacy has endorsed the resolution. In our view it elevates the importance of the Census and encourages all to complete it in order to achieve an accurate count. Accuracy is critical for every community and constituency because it ensures equitable representation and distribution of essential resources. Please contact your Senators today or tomorrow to encourage them to sign on as cosponsors of this important bipartisan resolution. Thanks you!
