Today's guest hosts are Charlotte Hancock, Communications Director for Generation Progress, and Brent Cohen, Executive Director of Generation Progress and the VP of the Center for American Progress.

They are joined by a pair of guests as they discuss what's at stake with the 2020 Census and the Trump administration's push to add a citizenship question. Regarding what's at stake, the Census "provides the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting, and distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to support states, counties and communities’ vital programs — impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy."
