Think Out Loud

The 2020 census is still a few months away from arriving at households across the country, but efforts to get the word out about the census is underway in many states.

We speak with We Count Oregon campaign manager Esperanza Tervalon-Garrett, APANO’s census equity manager Mar Hirshfield and Shana Radford, the tribal partnership specialist for the U.S. Census Bureau, focusing on Oregon and Idaho.
