It's finally here: Happy #CensusDay!
Every neighbor, every immigrant, every child – EVERYONE. If you’re living in America, you should be counted in the #2020Census. Spread the word and make sure all your friends and family get counted. #EveryoneCounts

We are heartbroken at the City of Detroit today. Yesterday, we lost a dear member of our team, Communications Director, Graham Davis. Graham was not only a brilliant communicator and strategist, but the kindest, most generous and sharp-witted person any of us has ever known.

New from "Trump, Inc.": The Secret Service guarded the door, according to the email. The bartender wasn’t allowed to return. And members of the group began pouring themselves drinks.
No one paid.
Six days later, Mar-a-Lago created a bill for those drinks:propub.li/2IS3tzI

By itself, it's a relatively tiny thing that @CityofDetroit now has a creative services department pumping out ad agency-quality graphics, publications and bus rerouting illustrations like this
But it reflects a city changing in ways great and small | @AlexisWileyNews @RideDDOT

In 2009, the IRS had formed a crack team of specialists to unravel the tax dodges of the ultrawealthy.
It was said to be “a game-changing strategy.”
But with big money — and Congress — arrayed against the team, it ultimately failed its mission: propub.li/2GqTmzh

Two facts:
1. H&R Block and the makers of @TurboTax spent $6.6 million lobbying last year. They want to ban the IRS from offering its own free, simple tax filing service.
2. Congress is about to pass a law doing exactly that. propub.li/2UMra1N

1/ Yesterday, we published a story on how Congress may be about to ban the government from offering free online tax filing for all.
In response, folks around the world took the opportunity to brag about how much easier they have it.

For every person in Detroit who does not fill out the census, we lose $1800 a year for the next decade. Each year, Michigan schools get approx. $1.1 billion in education grants, special education, and Head Start.

Just here to remind you: wealthy Americans cheat your government out of $50 BILLION dollars a year - and Republican lawmakers have made sure the IRS is too underfunded to try to stop them effectively.
Enjoy your weekend.

There is nothing more important than ensuring that every Detroiter stand up & be counted during #Census2020.
Census information is kept confidential by law. It doesn’t matter what your immigration status is. It doesn’t matter where your car is registered.
