The 2020 Census data will determine how the next 10 years of representation will look like for our communities and how much federal funding is distributed for critical programs that our families and communities use.

The November 2020 General Elections is a critical voting year for Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities. JMC took on the nonpartisan civic engagement project to call 65,282 AMEMSA voters in Virginia by November 3rd.

The U.S. Census is an opportunity to accurately count Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities and allocate funding for critical resources. As part of our community outreach efforts, we created an “I Count Census Poster Series.”
