The 2020 Census Officially Ended

Thank you for joining our movement!

Endorsers of the My Black Counts Campaign

U.S. Census counts are used to determine how public funding and political representation will be allocated for California over the next decade. Our Black communities have historically been undercounted–and as a result–underfunded and underrepresented politically. We asked Black elected and community leaders across the state to step up and join us in this campaign to ensure a full and complete count of Black lives and communities on the Census. Thank you to the following leaders who say loud and proud, “My Black Counts in the 2020 Census!”
