Remember our children!

September 13, 2020 CNC Education Fund CA Census

While the U.S. Census count determines funding for schools, public assistance programs, libraries and more, children are most commonly left out. It’s important to count kids — even newborns — when filling out the Census form.


“We need to count everyone, including newborn babies … because it will be affecting them for the next 10 years of their life,” says Samantha Valadez, Field Director for Communities for a New California Education Fund.


Count children in the home where they sleep most of the time. If a child splits time between homes, count them where they are living on April 1, 2020.


Be sure to count all children who live in your home, including foster children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and children of friends living with you even if it’s on a temporary basis.


Count newborn babies — even those who are born on April 1, 2020 — at the home where they will live and sleep most of the time (even if they’re still in the hospital).

California’s independent redistricting commission adopted final congressional and legislative districts for the next decade, starting with the 2022 mid-term elections. When you read about a Latino-majority district in California—think Latina power. Latina voters consistently outperform their Latino male counterparts in voting: 22 of the 80 new state Assembly districts are Latino-majority with Latina power voting blocs; 10 of the 40 state Senate districts are Latino-majority with Latina power voting blocs; 16 of 52 total congressional districts in California are Latino-majority with Latina power voting blocs. The articles below highlight the ever-growing Latina base of voters who are personally experiencing a housing crisis that is pushing their families out of their homes, and the climate change crisis in the form of toxic drinking water and pervasive health issues resulting from wildfires, drought and pesticide use near our homes. It is time to invest in the Central Valley and in the Coachella Valley beyond the usual election cycle or tit-for-tat politics. It is beyond time that the pathway towards California’s future centers on the priorities of Latina women and women as a whole because we are the spark leading the ways towards a better future—LÚCETE!
