The Census Seminar Series provides a foundational framework for understanding what the census and the ACS are and how they interplay with many aspects of American society, such as civil rights issues, federal funding, and the role of Congress and other government agencies. Module 2 will explore the role of Congress in determining a fair and accurate count, through appropriations and other legislative levers.
Join us for an informative session exploring The Census and the Role of Congress, co-hosted by Census Counts and National League of Cities. Hear from subject matter experts as they unpack how Congress shapes the census through appropriations, legislation, and the nomination process. We’ll also examine current legislative challenges that could impact a full and accurate count in 2030—and highlight meaningful ways you can take action to support a fair and equitable census.
