Lift Each Other Up with The 2020 Census

Rosario Dawson, Dolores Huerta, Andra Day and Kendrick Sampson know that this is a hard time for so, so many and one way we can as a community, pull together and lift each other up is by completing the 2020 Census, right now, no excuses.

The moment we are all in right now is connected to exactly why the census is so important. The health care holding our communities together? Funding for those resources is determined by the Census. It brings life to programs like Medicare and Medicaid, to community health centers and to programs like SNAP that provide nutritious meals to those in need. And as we know there are a lot of people who need help right about now.

The Census also decides how much money goes to our local schools. The scientist who stops the next world pandemic? She may be in one of our public schools right now.

Look, the Census only comes around once every 10 years. It’s your chance to be counted--no matter who you are or where you come from. We’re all depending on each other to make our communities thrive. And, remember, it’s against the law for anyone to share your personal information. This is a safe place to stand up and be seen.

Plus...it only takes about 10 minutes to fill out. That’s 10 minutes for 10 years of improving your community. You can even do it online while you’re stuck at home. So please, for your kids, for each other--stay at home, Census at home. Be well! Fill out the Census! Peace!
