Based in Santa Clarita, California, Shawanda Renee Obey, MD, is a physician with several years of experience, having worked with a variety of medical facilities. In addition, Shawanda Renee Obey, MD, is a member of several professional organizations, such as the NAACP, which she joined in 2017.
The NAACP made headlines for filing suit against the federal government in 2018 for what it believes to be inadequate census 2020 preparations, though this was eventually dismissed. However, the NAACP has won an appeal reinstating the lawsuit, which looks to ensure that all people are counted in the 2020 Census.
The suit came about due to the belief that a variety of communities have been historically undercounted, with many of these being comprised of people of color. The NAACP notes that this has resulted in communities of color being underrepresented in a variety of areas, such as transportation, health care, and more.
With the suit having been reinstated, the NAACP believes that some of the decisions that undercount these communities may be addressed before the 2020 Census.
