NQAPIA encourages all in our community to fill out the Census. We recognize that the data collected is inherently unrepresentative of the multiplicity of our identities. Although it can feel reductive, it is necessary because of the very real implications towards how the government will allocate resources and political representation. The Census holds a lasting impact; its results are used for ten years.
NQAPIA adopts a harm reduction model in our Census work to best support our communities. While we are encouraging our community to engage, we also filed a complaint letter and are gathering feedback from trans and GNC individuals. We ask that you stand alongside us. We ask that while you might not fully support the Census, you need to fill it out.
