Representation Matters: Help Boost the Census

Ever wondered why the Census matters so much, especially to minorities in the US? You might have heard that it's against the law to not fill out your census - but it can cost your community federal funding, too. That's because the US government uses official Census data to figure out how to distribute almost $900 billion in funding. For American Indian communities, getting that representation in the Census is vital to survival.

The good news is, completing your Census online is easy, and it takes about 2 minutes or less. When you (or your family) completes the Census, you're taking a small yet important action to represent your community.
