Latinos are historically undercounted in the census, but an Illinois woman we met in Season 4 is determined to change that, despite the coronavirus. Dona Chuy, the long-standing community activist and volunteer in Chicago, continues her work to get Latinos counted for the 2020 Census. In this episodio, host Judith Ruiz-Branch talks to her about what changes she’s had to make due to the pandemic to get Latinos to fill out el Censo del 2020 before the new deadline, el 30 de septiembre.
Latinos count en el Censo del 2020
Escucha as Dona Chuy talks about how she’s had to adjust and how not even a pandemic could make her abandon her mission because in the grand scheme of things, every count still matters.
The song for this episode es titulado “Aguzate” by Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz. Judith chose la canción because it is one of their most known songs, and along with it showcasing their signature orchestra, the message is uplifting and inspires us to keep pushing and fighting for good.
