Co-Director @gretabyrum qtd in the @nytimes: The proposed rule is a push to pre-emptively set a precedent at the federal level protecting tech firms & landlords. It closes the door to examining the impact of these tools. nytimes.com/2019/08/20/ups…

In the absence of coherent proactive messaging about the digital process and sufficient access / literacy support for digitally marginal and challenged populations, we are deeply concerned about the success of the digital transition of #Census2020. digitalequitylab.org/preparing-for-…

#Census2020 will be primarily conducted online. Given the demographics of the digital divide, this could lead to an overcount of affluent White populations & a systemic undercount of immigrants, PoC, and children, mirroring existing structural inequities. digitalequitylab.org/preparing-for-…

NEW: More than 4 million people could be left out of the #2020Census, according to new projections by the @urbaninstitute. Next year's count could lead to the worst undercount of black and Latinx people in the U.S. since the 1990 census👇 npr.org/2019/06/04/728…
