Stop Trump's efforts to rig the Census. JENNIFER WEXTON.


David -- last week, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to rig the U.S. Census.

But Trump, in the latest display of his disregard for the rule of law, is still trying to put a politically-motivated “citizenship” question on the Census. He’s even considering an executive order to do it!

Adding a citizenship question is a blatant attempt to silence the voices of immigrants and communities of color. It would mean that diverse and growing states like Virginia are at risk of not being fairly counted.

We need to speak up now to show Trump that the American people won’t stand for using the Census as a voter suppression tool. Can you help us get 10,000 signatures to stop Trump’s efforts to rig the Census?
The Census is an essential tool in making sure our democracy remains fair and inclusive. And it hasn’t included a citizenship question for nearly seventy years.

A citizenship question is designed to discourage response rates. But our federal government has a constitutional duty to count every person -- regardless of where they came from or their immigration status.

We must make sure this administration upholds that duty. Add your name now!

Thank you,

Team Wexton
