SUMMARY:Census Under Attack: Community Rights Briefing & Sign On Invitation Against Proposed Rule
DESCRIPTION:Last month\, the Census Bureau proposed significant changes to the decennial census with a rule that harms our communities through exclusion and discrimination. \nThe proposed rule: excludes millions of noncitizens\, including undocumented immigrants\, visa\, DACA\, and TPS holders\, and refugees and asylum seekers awaiting adjudication from representation; omits Census questions about race and ethnicity or sexual orientation; and\, along with other changes\, will result in the undercount of millions of US residents. \nThe impacts of this proposal would be severe and far-reaching. We would lose protections against discrimination; funding for schools\, health clinics\, and social services; and fair representation in government. \nJoin Asian Law Caucus\, Common Cause\, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC\, and Partners for a community rights briefing on what we can do to challenge the proposed rule\, together:\n+ Hear from leaders across the country on census advocacy and organizing\n+ Join sign on letters opposing the proposed rule\n+ Amplify best practices\, messaging\, and templates to your community \nHope you can make it! Share with your networks.

SUMMARY:The Stakes are Still High: Weighing in on the Proposed Census Rules Changes
DESCRIPTION:A proposed Census Bureau rule would leave many Michigan residents out of the census count\, including international students\, workers on visas and refugees. It would count Michigan snowbirds in Florida and Arizona instead of at home\, and strip race and ethnicity questions from the census. \nCensus data guides funding for schools\, roads\, and hospitals; an incorrect count would have major consequences for understanding who lives in our communities and whether our voting districts represent their residents. It’s crucial that we push back on this proposed rule change\, but the deadline to speak up is October 13\, which doesn’t give us much time to organize. \nJoin us for on Tuesday\, October 6\, at noon to learn what’s at stake and how to submit an effective comment.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Proposed Rule on the Decennial Census and What it Means for Counties
DESCRIPTION:NACo is hosting a webinar to walk participants through the recently released proposed rule on changes to the Decennial Census. Participants will hear an overview of the proposed rule with explanation of what is changing\, how it could affect local government funding\, and what counties need to know as the comment deadline approaches on October 13. \nBackground \nOn September 10\, the U.S. Census Bureau published a proposed rule governing the decennial census that would add two new parts to Title 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Among other changes\, the rule would define “usual residence” as the place where a person has lawfully spent the greatest number of days during a defined enumeration period\, evidenced by administrative and tax records\, and exclude from the apportionment count foreign citizens who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents previously counted; and prohibit questions about race\, ethnicity and sexual orientation. \nThe rule also sets the enumeration period from January 3 to April 1 of each decennial census year;  makes most remaining demographic responses voluntary; limits disclosure avoidance where it would introduce uncertainty into national or state population counts; and invites comment on adding a legal-status question to the short-form questionnaire. \nComments are due October 13\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Proposed 2030 Census Residence Rule: What It Means for Communities and Data Users
DESCRIPTION:The Census Bureau has proposed significant changes to the rules governing who is counted\, where people are counted\, and what demographic information is collected in the 2030 Census. \nThe proposed Federal Register rule would establish a new definition of “usual residence” and exclude many non-citizens from the data used for congressional apportionment. The Bureau is also considering the use of administrative records to determine individuals’ legal status and is seeking public comment on whether to include a legal-status question on the 2030 Census questionnaire. \nSeparately\, the proposal would eliminate questions about race\, ethnicity\, and sexual orientation from the 2030 Census questionnaire. \nJoin us for an important discussion about what these proposed changes could mean for communities\, data users\, and organizations across sectors. \nThe webinar will begin with an overview of the proposal and how it would change current census residence criteria. A panel of experts will then examine potential implications for health\, business\, civil rights enforcement\, local communities\, emergency preparedness and disaster response\, social services\, education\, and other policy areas. \nThe conversation will also address considerations related to sexual orientation and gender identity data\, incarcerated populations\, and Tribal Nations. \nWe’ll close with a call to action and concrete ways to participate in the public comment process. Participants will learn about sign-on opportunities\, receive a template they can adapt to submit their own comments to the public record\, and additional resources. \nFor questions or to request reasonable accommodations\, please contact: datadisaggregation@censuscounts.org \n\nRegister Here

DESCRIPTION:BACKGROUND: \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Census Bureau will release poverty\, income\, health insurance\, and other 2024 data on September 9 and 11. CHN’s webinar\, ahead of the release\, will teach you how to find state and local as well as national data\, to help you show the connection between federal and state policy choices and numbers of people in poverty or uninsured.\n\nWe know Congress and the President have made some policy choices that\, if left unchanged\, will sharply cut funding and benefits for basic needs programs. So it’s especially important to show how earlier policy improvements reduced poverty and the number of people without health insurance – we’ll show you how to make those points for your state\, and how to make the connection to the dangers ahead.\n\nSpeakers include an expert panel with Christopher Wimer\, Director\, Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy\, Danilo Trisi\, Consultant\, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, and Gina Plata-Nino\, Interim SNAP Director\, Food Research and Action Center. We’ll welcome Edwin Park\, Research Professor at the Georgetown U. Center for Children and Families to talk about trends for the uninsured. And you’ll also get CHN’s Executive Director Deborah Weinstein’s annual hands-on\, practical tips on exactly where to find the data you need in the Census Bureau releases showing poverty\, with breakdowns by age\, race/ethnicity\, and disability\, policies that can reduce poverty\, and health insurance trends.\n\nAll registrants will receive the webinar recording and slides\, as well as other resources in advance of the Census Bureau’s releases on Sept. 9 and 11. And you’ll also receive quick analyses of the new data after its release\, including tables with breakdowns by state and congressional district\, by age and race/ethnicity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick Here to RSVP

SUMMARY:LUCA: Improving Census Data. Here’s How\, Starting Now
DESCRIPTION:BACKGROUND: \nThe Census Bureau’s first operation in preparation for the 2030 census is the Local Update of Census Addresses\, or LUCA\, and it needs your help in updating its address list. Preparation starts now. States\, local jurisdictions and tribal nations can identify areas with hidden and low-visibility housing\, lots of in-fill and new residential developments; areas recovering from disasters; and areas with nontraditional addresses. \nWhy bother? To make the census count more accurate! If an address or housing unit isn’t on the Census Bureau’s list\, the people living there might not be counted in the 2030 census. An accurate census means communities receive their fair share of federal and state resources and political representation! \nIn this webinar cosponsored by the National League of Cities\, the National Association of Counties\, the International City/County Management Association and NCSL\, learn about the steps you and your partners can take now to get this critical census activity right! \nIf you are unable to register or have other questions\, contact registration@ncsl.org \nClick Here to RSVP

SUMMARY:Virtual Briefing: How the Census Measures Racial Identity
DESCRIPTION:As politics\, policy\, migration and attitudes about racial identity changed over time\, so did the categories used in later counts. That makes the census both a mirror and a snapshot of how Americans see themselves – and how the government sees them. \nThis webinar brings together the author of Pew Research Center’s Counting Race: How the Census Measures Identity and What Americans Think About It\, and leaders from the Arab American Institute and MALDEF to examine how federal race and ethnicity categories are defined\, interpreted\, and experienced across different communities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists following the presentation. \nThis webinar is designed for state and local advocates\, community-based organizations\, government officials\, funders\, and partners committed to ensuring every community is counted\, and resourced\, fairly. \nWe hope you will join us for this critical session. \nClick Here to RSVP\n  \nClick Here to View the Report

SUMMARY:Census Book Club: The Sum of the People
DESCRIPTION:The Leadership Conference is excited to announce that we are launching our next installment of the Census Book Club! The book club features a series of books to deepen our understanding of the census and its impacts. Book club members will read one book approximately every quarter and meet as a group to engage in a conversation with the author. We look forward to compiling a comprehensive reading list for census advocates\, while coming together to learn more about the rich history and implications of the census. \nOur next book of 2024 is The Sum of the People by Andrew Whitby. This book traces the remarkable history of the census\, from ancient China and the Roman Empire\, through revolutionary America and Nazi-occupied Europe\, to the steps of the Supreme Court. Marvels of democracy\, instruments of exclusion\, and\, at worst\, tools of tyranny and genocide\, censuses have always profoundly shaped the societies we’ve built. Today\, as we struggle to resist the creep of mass surveillance\, the traditional census—direct and transparent—may offer the seeds of an alternative. \nRegister here for Census Book Club and a conversation session with the author: August 14 at 3PM ET. The first 5 participants to sign up for the book club and a conversation session will receive a free copy of the book! Selected participants will be notified by email. Attendance at the author conversation sessions will be limited\, so register early! \nWHAT: Census Book Club! \nWHEN: Author Talkback August 14 at 3PM ET \nRSVP: Sign up here!

SUMMARY:Part 2: Dollars and Demographics | How Census Data Shapes Federal Funding Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Census data shape the future of our community and define our voices in Congress. It determines how more than $1.5 trillion in federal government resources are distributed each year. An inaccurate census count can lead to the misallocation of federal funding\, with communities potentially losing out on millions of dollars from different federal programs due to an overcount and undercount of certain populations. Organizations across the country are working with state-level census data to fight for what their communities deserve and are beginning to prepare for an accurate count in 2030. \nJoin Project On Government Oversight (POGO) and Census Counts for a webinar on Wednesday\, June 26\, 2024 at 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET to explore how states use census data to advocate for increased census participation and funding at the state level\, such as engaging with the state budget processes to acquire equitable funding. The webinar will feature speakers from the Texas Census Institute\, Maryland Center on Economic Policy\, and Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS). \n\nWhat: Webinar – Census Dollars in the States\nWhen: Wednesday\, June 26\, 2024\, at 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET\nWhere: Zoom\, RSVP here: https://bit.ly/fedfundingPOGO2\n\nPlease reach out to Faith Williams (Faith.Williams@pogo.org) or Esteban Camarena (camarena@civilrights.org) with any questions. \nClick Here to RSVP
