Who we're looking for
The State of Wisconsin is dedicating 0 dollars in getting the count out next year and we all have stake in it. But communities who have been historically under counted -- people of color, low income, immigrants and others-- always get the short end of the stick. Community groups are jumping into action to get involved and often are asking "How can I get involved?", "What role can I play?", "How can I make sure my community is counted and represented?". Come learn how Wisconsin Voices is taking the lead on making sure grassroots organizations can see how the Census is impacting them by hoping to create an interactive map where community partners can see data on the hard to count communities.
