Applaud the Court for Protecting a Fair and Accurate Census

A federal appeals court has rejected an effort to challenge the Census Bureau's longstanding methods for counting every community, dismissing a lawsuit that sought to undermine the accuracy of the 2020 Census.

The census is one of the most important foundations of our democracy. It determines congressional representation, helps guide the distribution of federal resources, and ensures that communities across the country receive fair representation based on an accurate count of the people who live there.

For decades, the Census Bureau has used well-established statistical methods to help ensure that historically undercounted communities—including young people, lower-income families, and naturalized citizens—are represented as accurately as possible.

The court's decision helps protect the integrity of the census and reinforces that challenges to our democratic institutions must be grounded in law and evidence.

A fair census strengthens our democracy by ensuring that every community counts, every voice matters, and representation reflects the people—not political agendas.

Add your name to applaud the court for protecting a fair and accurate census, defending equal representation, and strengthening the democratic principle that every person counts.
