* Why is claiming your Polish descent
in 2020 Census so important?

Data from Census 2020 will help to adjust the boundaries of electoral districts, determine the number of seats each state has in Congress and make elected officials to take into account interests and concerns of Polish Americans as an important voting bloc. It will also determine the distribution of federal funds spent every year on hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads and various public services. On local levels, lawmakers, business owners, teachers and many organizations use census data to gear the services, products and support they provide to the specific needs of well-defined groups in local communities.
