John,

We've come to expect the unexpected from Donald Trump and his
discrimination administration, but even we are surprised by his latest
move. Now, during the biggest public health crisis we have faced in a
century, Trump is trying to stop efforts to make sure the Census
Bureau has enough time to conduct the census fully.

Tell the Senate: fully fund the 2020 census and extend deadlines for
reporting data -- our community resources are on the line.

The census comes only once every decade, but shapes how the country
functions for years after. The Census Bureau is tasked by the
Constitution with counting every single person that calls our country
home--regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual
orientation, or immigration status. Trump can't change that. And
yet, the Trump administration wants to close the census early, halting
the count for purely political reasons.

If the census ends early, real people will be denied the political
power and crucial resources they need. We cannot let Trump's
fear mongering and manipulation lead to undercounting vulnerable
communities. Our futures and livelihood are too important.

The Constitution is clear: everyone living in the U.S. must be counted
in the census. Trump doesn't have the power to change that --
and we won't allow his scare tactics to keep resources out of
our neighborhoods by undercounting, especially in vulnerable
communities like ours.

It's time for the Senate to listen to our calls: fully fund the
2020 census AND extend deadlines for reporting data -- to ensure
everyone is counted. A decade of funding and representation is at
stake.
