Description
The decennial census of the United States requires a 10-year cycle of funding. But national decision makers often place a very low priority on this activity until the census looms at the end of each decade. Drawing from two decades of involvement in census issues, The Census Project, coordinated by the Communications Consortium Media Center, brings together more than 600 data-user organizations including businesses, state and local governments, labor unions, civil rights organizations, child advocacy groups, educational institutions and other groups that rely on the Census Bureau for vital information related to their work and that of the U.S. Government. In an effort to advocate for a fair and accurate 2020 Census and support for the American Community Survey (ACS), Corporation support will be used toward communications, polling, and public outreach.
