This week’s news that counting efforts will end a month earlier than previously announced means that historical undercounts of some communities will likely be exacerbated. If you’re interested in supporting census turnout efforts, Philanthropy Northwest has a list of more than 80 organizations across the state that are raising awareness and doing outreach to historically undercounted populations. Also, don’t forget to fill out your own form.
