With six months to go until the 2020 Census begins, groups of social activists in California’s central valley began an intensive door-to-door campaign this week to visit communities that have been poorly counted in the past. These communities, which are difficult to count because of poverty and unemployment, have fewer resources due to the lack of a proper census count. This season, community and religious leaders are joining forces to go out to speak with families in the central valley at homes, churches, and events to alert them to the consequences of not being counted. Ruben Tapia spoke with some of these motivated volunteers and has this report from Bakersfield, California.
