Administration Aims to Diminish Immigrant Voices
Posted: July 23, 2020
Canal Alliance and Community Action Marin affirms their goal of a fair and accurate census that counts everyone. The White House is trying to remove undocumented residents from the process of redistricting which takes place after every decennial census.
