The goal is to get the Descendants of American Slaves (DAS) properly recognized so the available resources are properly designated.
Why is this important?
We are starting this petition because the DAS culture doesn’t get any Funding. Because we are not on the Census Form, we don't exist, when in fact there are 21 Million Descendants of American Slaves living in America.
The U.S. Census Bureau is considering whether to drop some questions that it has used for decades from its largest household survey of Americans.
Maybe it should consider adding Descendants of American Slaves (DAS) as an option for Ethnicity.
The survey’s annually updated data help guide the distribution of more than $416 billion in federal funds.
Help us get the resources to build institutions to help the DAS culture. Sign the petition today!
