As civic engagement efforts ramp up for the 2016 elections, organizations must be equally invested in engaging in Census 2020 and the subsequent redistricting cycle. These are both multi-year processes that take advance planning and coordination to do well. This workshop will discuss how you can weigh in now on important census decisions that will impact an accurate count and how to design an outreach effort. The workshop will also look at how we can engage in redistricting to ensure districts are drawn to amplify our communities’ voices.
