The U.S. Census Bureau has proposed significant changes to how the 2030 Census could be conducted, and the public has until October 13, 2026 to weigh in.
During this briefing, the NC Counts Coalition and NC Center for Nonprofits will unpack the US Census Bureau’s proposed rule changes and their potential implications for North Carolina. Together, we’ll explore how these changes could influence federal funding for local services, political representation, and the overall accuracy of our community data.
We’ll hear from experts and community leaders who will help us understand both the proposals themselves and their potential implications for communities across North Carolina.
Most importantly, we’ll talk about what we can do while the public comment period is still open.
The first hour will include a formal briefing and community perspectives immediately followed by a 30-minute action session for anyone who wants to ask questions, get help preparing a public comment, or learn how to use available resources to engage their organization, community, or network.
Get informed. Take action. Make your voice COUNT.
