SCOTUS must protect our census as a means to strengthen our democracy. The census is anopportunity for civic engagement available to every person, one of the greatest ways to show ourcivic pride in this country. Mi Familia Vota will work to ensure that all people, includingimmigrant populations, are represented in this count.

On Earth Day, Mi Familia Vota (MFV) will be engaging the Latino community in efforts to promote environmental activism and combat climate change. Each of the six states where MFV has ground operations has a unique set of environmental challenges impacting the health and well-being of Latino communities.

Mi Familia Vota will participate in the Power of Your Vote, a bilingual townhall, organized by NPR’s 1A, Houston Public Media, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, focused on Latinos and the 2020 election.

District Judge George Hazel’s ruling is a step towards ensuring a fair and inclusive count that will be used to determine our funding and political representation.

This is an important step to strengthening our democracy in Harris County and we will be working to ensure that the right to vote is facilitated for all Texans.

Our country needs an EPA administrator who will fulfil the mission of the EPA- Andrew Wheeler has already demonstrated that he will prioritize industry and short term profits over our wellbeing and long-term, environmentally sustainable economic opportunities, while putting at risk our health and the health of our families.

The ruling made clear that immigrant U.S. citizens were “unfairly burdened” by Secretary Whitley and that his discriminatory actions created a mess that jeopardizes the integrity of our election process. Secretary Whitley’s claim that tens of thousands of voters were “illegal voters” was an attack on immigrants and Latinos, which was gleefully endorsed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and President Trump at the expense of our community.
