The Census is important to our community!  Governments, businesses, and nonprofits all rely on Census data.  In fact, the Census is the only source of comparable neighborhood-level data across the country.  And its results affect a wide range of key policy decisions, including:

Political representation - Census data determine the number of Congressional seats each state has. It is used to draw Congressional and state legislative district lines, and in some communities, it also decides city, county, and school board seats.

Funding - It directly affects how more than $400 billion per year in federal and state funding is allocated to communities for neighborhood improvements, public health, education, transportation, and much more. For each uncounted Latino, more than $11,000 will be lost over the next decade.

Civil rights - Census data are used to protect our civil rights such as enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.

We must make sure our community knows that their answers will remain private and confidential, and that ignoring the Census hurts our community.

Here is the message that we are going to append:
