This case is an in-depth look at the multipronged legal and advocacy efforts against the inclusion of a citizenship question in the 2020 Census. The case is one of two such products; the other explores advocacy for federal appropriations to support a fair and accurate 2020 Census. While these cases stand alone, they can also be understood within results from the evaluation of the multiyear national initiative of the Census Subgroup, a part of the Democracy Funders Collaborative: Together We Count.

Barsoum Policy Consulting developed these case studies under a subcontract with ORS Impact; graphic design was done by ORS Impact. The photographs used in this report represent real 2020 Census efforts and were generously shared with us by Karen Narasaki.
