Minnesota Census and Democracy Partnership Meeting: What’s Going On With the Census and What Can We Do? 

The 2030 census is five years away but the opportunity to engage is now. From leadership changes, data collection decisions, and executive orders, there is much to navigate as  communities gear up for the 2030 census. Join the Minnesota Census and Democracy Partnership to learn how these new and proposed census and American Community Survey updates impact our communities and what actions we can all take. We will share resources for how to reliably access data, engagement opportunities, and more. Most importantly, join us for a collective conversation about how we can move forward together,  our ongoing commitment to centering historically undercounted communities, and efforts to ensure a full and accurate count for Minnesota in 2030.
