The Census is used to determine the allocation of $300 billion of federal funding for community resources and services, enforce an array of civil rights laws, and apportion political representation.
NQAPIA has worked on many prior censuses and is a Census 2020 partner to help the Bureau achieve a full and accurate count.

5. Confidentiality Defense and Blocking ICE
NQAPIA encourages all in our community to fill out the Census. We recognize that the data collected is inherently unrepresentative of the multiplicity of our identities. Although, it can feel reductive and often dehumanizing, it is necessary because of the very real implications towards how the government will allocate resources. The Census holds a lasting impact; its results are used for ten years.
NQAPIA adopts a harm reduction model in our Census work to best support our communities. While we are encouraging our folks to engage, we also filed a complaint letter and gathering feedback from trans and GNC individuals. We ask that you stand alongside us. We ask that while you might not fully support the Census, you should still fill it out.
