Actress Rosario Dawson wants Latinos to know that the Census is just as important as voting, so it’s a natural cause for Voto Latino, the non-profit organization she co-founded.

“In some ways I say it’s even more important than voting,” said Dawson, who starred in “Seven Pounds” and “Sin City.”

Dawson was in Washington on Wednesday night to celebrate the five-year anniversary of Voto Latino. A panel discussion about the group’s newest project — “Greening the Next Generation of Workforce” — brought together President Obama’s Domestic Policy Council Director Melody Barnes, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Rep. Ben Ray Lujan at the Navy Heritage Center at the US Navy Memorial.
