2010 Sessions
To Be Counted: 2010 Census, March 25, 2010
Did you know there is a way to impact education, health care, job training, and electoral representation in your community in less than 10 minutes? Every 10 years the United States conducts a Census of the American people. The census then determines how electoral representation and resources – like health clinics & social services –are distributed in our communities. With $400 billion on the line – don’t you think you should know more? Join us March 25th at 3 pm EST for a conversation about the US Census & what happens when a community is undercounted. Register today!
Presented in partnership with Southern Coalition for Social Justice.
