The New York Times, US Census

I had the privilege of illustrating this piece for The New York Times' Opinion section. The article is about how the Supreme Court let the administration manipulate the 2020 census by adding a citizenship question to it. "Roughly 6.5 million people, would go uncounted with a citizenship question on the 2020 census." Adding the citizenship question to the form would discourage both legal and non legal citizens to fill up the form. This would defeat the purpose of the census to count everyone in the nation.

See the full article here.
