On Thursday, October 17th, at 6:30pm, the League of Women Voters of the Whitewater Area will host a public program in the Whitewater Municipal Building’s Council Chambers (312 W Whitewater St, Whitewater) about the 2020 Census and how to participate in the process.
Program speakers include Patricia Gillette, Partnership Specialist with the Chicago Regional Office of the Census Bureau and US Census representative for the Whitewater area and Miguel Aranda, UW-Whitewater graduate student, member of Whitewater’s Complete Count Committee and advisor for the UW-Whitewater chapter of Voto Latino.
The program will explain the process of the count and will address lingering concerns over the confidentiality of personal information and distrust following recent heated debates of adding a citizenship question, which will not be a component of the Census. Learn more about it at the Census Bureau’s website for Census 2020.
