Community Action can assist in outreach and education for a fair and accurate census. Steven Romalewski of the City University of New York offers one strategy to engage through the use of the CUNY developed “Mapping Hard to Count Communities” tool to understand and target those communities that are especially hard to count in the Census and the ability to share this data with elected officials. Learn how to map this data for your community and how to access other resources and organizations engaging on the issue of a fair and accurate Census.
