FELICIDAD AVELEYRA: I welcome Lizette Escobedo, National Director of the Census program. Good afternoon, Lizette. A pleasure to greet you.
LIZETTE ESCOBEDO: Good afternoon, too. Thank you for having me here today.
AVELEYRA: Tell me, why isn't our Latino community participating in the census?
ESCOBEDO: Well, right now we know we have a lot of things we're facing, right? We're facing everything to do with the coronavirus, uncertainty if we're going to have a job, income. We also know that many people in our community sometimes don't trust the government, especially in this climate, right?
AVELEYRA: Lizette, it's understandable that they're afraid because of the political climate, et cetera, whatever.
