THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 2, 2020 Page 7 Sen. DiDomenico reminds residents to respond to 2020 Census Secures additional funds for Everett outreach S tate Senator Sal DiDomenico has once again put out a call to his constituents and residents across the Commonwealth to respond to the 2020 Census. A federal judge recently barred the Trump Administration from ending the census count a month early, issuing a temporary injunction that prevents the federal government from halting census-taking on September 30, a full month before the original October 31 deadline approved by Congress. DiDomenico hailed this decision as a win for hard-tocount communities, like Everett and Chelsea. However, he also warned his constituents not to delay responding to the census, as the recent court decision is likely to be appealed by the Trump Administration. “This is a major win for our communities to help ensure that the census count is fair and accurate,” said DiDomenico. “I have been working hard this legislative session to secure state funding to help reach historically hardto-count communities, like Everett and Chelsea, and the Administration’s decision to end the count a month early did nothing to help our efforts. This ruling is a big win, but still so much uncertainty remains. If you haven’t responded to the 2020 Census yet, please do not delay any longer.
