Tariq (El-Amin) talks with Nareman Taha and Itedal Shalabi, founders of Arab American Family Services (AAFS) about their involvement with the 2020 Census. Currently, Illinois stands to lose $1,400 per individual, in addition to Congressional representation due to uncounted individuals. Nareman and Itedal share AAFS’s approach to assuage the hesitancy, and fears, of undocumented persons in the census taking process, as well as plans to have a Middle Eastern North African (MENA) box on the 2030 census.
