Charter County of Wayne Michigan issued the following announcement on Sept. 16.
We have until Sept. 30 to ensure every Wayne County resident is counted in the 2020 Census. If you haven't yet, take just a couple minutes RIGHT NOW to complete your census form at 2020census.gov.
During the Civil Rights movement nearly 60 years ago, the protesters understood that what they were marching and dying for was worth it. But they also understood that the risks they took were no guarantee that their sacrifices would bring about the massive societal restructuring they sought. It could have gone another way – and some might argue that it still can.
The civil rights struggle was never truly won, nor was it ever lost. It simply continues. And for Black and Brown communities, filling out the 2020 Census is as vital a part of that continued struggle as is the need to vote in November. But the largest roadblocks blocking the way to a full count is fear and distrust at a level that we have not seen in quite some time.
