Refuse to answer question about race

The census is coming! The census is coming!

In a few short weeks the decennial statistical abstract of our country will be attempted once again. Now is your chance to stifle one small aspect of this endeavor. Help thwart the government's pigeonholing of its people based on skin pigmentation. When the question of race is encountered there is a spot to check "other" and a space to write in what you want. Write the word "human."

It is the only accurate description of us all. Take one small step toward making the world a better place.
