There will be no citizenship question on the 2020 Census Questionnaire

July 3, 2019 - SACRAMENTO—Attorney General Xavier Becerra yesterday issued the following statement regarding the Trump Administration’s decision to abandon their plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

“Today, California proved why we fight and win. We celebrate a foundational principle of our democracy: that everyone counts. The Trump Administration has conceded there will be no citizenship question on the 2020 census. While the Trump Administration attempted to silence so many people with its cynical agenda, California, like many others, fought to protect our people, our values, and our resources. Today and moving forward, our friends, neighbors, families, and loved ones can stand up and be counted. In 2020, with this census, 40 million Californians – and millions more across the nation – young and old, rich and poor, citizen and immigrant, will lift their voices together to declare: We’re here, we count, and none of us will be pushed into the shadows.”
