Info AND ACTION ALERT: Protect the 2020 Census from Trump’s abuse!!!
An important action reposted from Glen Anderson’s blog “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives”. The U.S. Constitution requires a census that will count EVERY person in the U.S. Presumably, it must be HONEST.

Trump is planning to add a question about citizenship in order to intimidate and under count America’s immigrants.
