🚨 Action Needed: The 2030 Census could look very different under a new proposal from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The proposed rule would make significant changes to how people are counted, including adding a citizenship question, redefining where people are considered to reside, and removing questions about race, ethnicity and sexual orientation.

These changes could affect the data used to understand communities, allocate resources and determine representation.
