'What the census does is it tells us, it’s the roadmap for the next decade and you can’t change it. The census is a one time deal,' says staceyabrams.
The 2020 Census deadline is September 30th. It's not too late! It's quick and easy! Complete the survey here. #GetCounted You’ve been working very hard to encourage people to fill out the 2020 census. I don’t think I knew how important it was until I had seen interviews with you about it . You did an event recently with my friend America Ferrera [regarding the Census], and she said, “You need to come hear Stacey, she’s so incredible.” And I’m like, “I know, I harass Stacey all the time.
Everything we want to see changed in a democracy begins with voting. Voting isn’t simply this act of going down and casting a ballot. It is a choice. We are choosing people to represent us. I think we sometimes gloss over what that word means but representation means you’re supposed to speak for me because they’re not going to ask me directly. They’re not going to poll me everytime they make a decision about how to spend the money that I pay in taxes.
And so voting is about saying that this is someone I trust to tell my truth. And for young people in particular, that truth is not just about how they live their lives today, it’s about whether they have lives to live. And so the act of voting is critical and the census is the input, it is the money that gets spent, the 1.
The other reality is, the people you get to choose from, so when you get to elect a representative, it’s not that you get to pick the best person; they cordon off, they draw, they pick teams. And the way they pick those teams are the political lines that are drawn. And so only from within that circle of people can you pick your person. Well if the circle that they draw excludes anybody who cares about you, you’re never going to be able to pick a person who helps you.
