A child missed in the 2030 Census won’t be counted again until high school. That’s a decade of lost funding for schools, health care, and services.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!

Today and every day, The King Center honors the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and vital contributions of Indigenous communities. As we work toward building the #BelovedCommunity, we recognize that true peace and justice cannot exist without actively advocating for Indigenous rights.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the word of the day is “tradition.” Together with our friend Zahn McClarnon we honor Indigenous people around the world and the many ways they share their culture and traditions every day. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

When SNAP participation declines, families lose access to food, communities lose federal dollars, and local economies suffer.

Congress can take action to reverse the harm and strengthen SNAP. Take one moment to tell them to invest in SNAP! https://t.co/vMYMTVDEEM
