The outcome of the next U.S. Census count will determine the allocation of essential services based on region population and income. The count will also decide who gets represented in Congress. These questions are critically important to all Americans, mainly black and brown communities that are both historically undercounted and the targets of voter suppression. Our panelists take a sharp look at the volatile political forces that seek to shape the upcoming census and its outcomes.
