Dear philanthropy colleagues, peers, and friends,
Today is a day to celebrate one woman’s intellect, integrity, and indefatigable pursuit of justice and equity – in the courtroom, in our communities, and across our democracy.
Two years ago –in the face of incredible odds –the Census Bureau, along with all of us and our dedicated practitioner partners, set out to count every person residing in this country.
On March 4, the Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP) joined 160 funders, practitioners, and census advocates on a
letter to the Office of Management and Budget related to federal data collection on race and ethnicity.
The Census Equity Initiative will continue the census collaborative that was created in the buildup to the 2020 decennial census.
The census doesn’t end when the counting stops. 2020 Census work is ongoing and 2030 planning is well underway.
