“Now the US Census Bureau compounds that error by appointing a 2030 Census Advisory Committee devoid of any Afro Latino experts. These combined failures now risk having systemic racism rendered invisible while Latino decision-makers continue to deny Afro Latinos access. The OMB reform needs further reform,” said Tanya Katerí Hernández, the Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law at Fordham Law School.

Christina Greer on What’s at Stake in the 2020 U.S. Census https://now.fordham.edu/fordham-magazine/christina-greer-on-whats-at-stake-in-the-2020-u-s-census/ Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:32:50 +0000 https://news.fordham.sitecare.pro/?p=131127 The 2020 U.S. Census began on Tuesday, January 21, in Toksook Bay, Alaska, and by April 1, all households in the United States should receive invitations to participate. Christina Greer, Ph.D., associate professor of political science at Fordham, stresses the importance of being counted, even as she recognizes that some people, including immigrants and those in marginalized communities, might be reluctant to participate. “For those people who don’t fill out the census, the political repercussions will be great,” she says, noting that the census is used to draw electoral districts and allocate money to communities. This year marks the first time that respondents can complete the census online, in addition to via mail, phone, or in person.
