Trump's attacks on the Census

ADD YOUR NAME: Stop Trump’s attempts to rig the 2030 Census by excluding millions of Americans >> TAKE ACTION Pamela, Trump and Stephen Miller want to erase anyone who doesn't fit their bigoted view of America – and this proposed census rule is their latest attempt to make that a reality. This dangerous rule would cut millions of people out of the census by adding a citizenship question and stripping out all questions on race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Trump is trying to sneak this rule through during the midterm elections, but we're paying close attention – and our action is already working. Thanks to thousands of comments from Common Cause members like you, the Census Bureau has extended the public comment deadline, giving us more time to speak out. We're attacking this rule from every angle we have – and we need your action to sustain this grassroots outrage and make it clear that Americans REJECT this scheme. Add your name: Demand a fair and accurate 2030 Census. Urge the Census Bureau to withdraw this dangerous rule >> TAKE ACTION Our government uses census data to make some of its most consequential decisions. Trump wants to base those decisions on bad data – stripping our communities of power when voting maps are drawn, making enforcing voting and civil rights nearly impossible, and denying all of us our fair share of trillions of dollars for healthcare, schools, and infrastructure. The Constitution is clear: every U.S. resident must be counted in each census and be included in apportionment counts. And the courts have backed us up time and again – including the Supreme Court, which rejected the Trump administration’s efforts to add a citizenship question in 2019 after Common Cause and others successfully took action. [1] Add Your Name: Tell the Census Bureau to reject this unconstitutional rule >> Trump is determined to drag us backward by making the next census less accurate and less fair – and ignoring the diversity that makes our country great. We defeated this scheme before, and with your help, we can stop it again.
