Census Citizenship Question
Common Cause stopped then-President Trump’s efforts to add a dangerous question on citizenship status to the 2020 Census.
Census
The U.S. Census determines who has fair representation in our government and who can access key resources. That is why Common Cause is committed to making sure that everyone is counted.
Every 10 years, the federal government must conduct a census, or a count of everyone living in the U.S. Getting this process right is crucial as the results determine how voting districts are drawn, how funding and resources are allocated to states, and so much more.
We work in the courts, in the legislature, and on the ground to make sure that the census is conducted fairly and independent from politically-motivated agendas.

Sabihin sa Kongreso: TANGGILAN ang mga pagtatangka na pahinain ang ating Census
Ang pagdaragdag ng tanong tungkol sa pagkamamamayan sa US Census at pagbubukod ng milyun-milyong residente ng US mula sa mga bilang ng paghahati-hati ay hindi mabilang na mga Amerikano, mamamayan man sila o hindi, mula sa pagsagot sa Census.
Mahalaga ang pagkuha ng Census nang tama upang matiyak na gumagana ang ating pamahalaan para sa lahat. Dapat TANGGILAN ng Kongreso ang mapanganib na batas na ito at tumulong na protektahan ang patas at tumpak na mga bilang ng Census.

Redistricting Data Release
On August 12, 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau released redistricting "legacy" data to the states. Although these data will require some time to process, this is the information states and localities need to draw new voting districts that are designed to last for the entire decade. The updated schedule for releasing these data has impacted state redistricting and election timelines. Learn more here.

The Hofeller Files
Evidence obtained by Common Cause confirms how political operatives spent years plotting to rig our democracy with a Census citizenship question. GOP’s chief gerrymandering mastermind Thomas Hofeller laid out a plan to add the citizenship question to the Census. The purpose? Manipulating our Census and redistricting process to be, in Hofeller’s words, “advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites."

Hinihimok ng Karaniwang Dahilan ang Bumoto ng “Hindi” sa Tinatawag na Equal Representation Act
Hinihimok ng Common Cause ang bawat miyembro ng US House of Representatives na bumoto ng "hindi" kapag ang tinatawag na "Equal Representation Act" (HR 7109) ay inaasahang iharap sa sahig mamayang hapon. Ang iminungkahing batas ay hahadlang sa Kawanihan ng Census ng US mula sa pagsasagawa ng responsibilidad na ipinag-uutos ng konstitusyon na bilangin ang bilang ng mga tao sa Estados Unidos bawat sampung taon sa Census. Binabalewala din ng panukalang batas ang Konstitusyon.

Common Cause Urges “Yes” Vote on Bill to Safeguard Census from Political Manipulation & Abuse
Common Cause is urging every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote “yes” on the Ensuring a Fair and Accurate Census Act (H.R. 8326) to ensure that future censuses are not subjected to the unprecedented level of malfeasance and politicization that plagued the 2020 Census count.
