The 2030 census is coming up: What will you do?
In this clip, Ruth Bishay shares how lack of representation in her high made her feel as though she was the only one who viewed the world in a certain way. She states, “for my four years in high school I have met one person who was Middle Eastern… I only met her a few months ago.” Ruth Bishay is a senior at a high school with a student population of 4,000, yet feels as if she is unique in her demographic. The lack of representation of the MENA individuals is also reflected in the US Census.
