Petition: don't rig the 2020 census


The Trump administration is making a blatant effort to intimidate immigrant communities and throw off the 2020 census count.
By inserting a question about citizenship, a question that hasn't been part of the census for over six decades, Trump and the GOP are making it less likely those communities will participate. They're also compartmentalizing LGBTQ communities by asking couples residing together to specify the relationship as "same-sex" or "opposite-sex." 
That's totally unacceptable.
Every resident must be included, so we can ensure that every voice is heard and that we're fulfilling our promise to provide good quality health care, services for veterans, and support for seniors.
