IT'S CENSUS DAY!
The 2020 Census is happening now! You can respond online, by phone, or by mail; your response matters. Health clinics. Fire departments. Schools. Even roads and highways. The census can shape many aspects of our community:
  • Census results help determine how BILLIONS of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year.
  • The results determine how many seats in Congress each state gets.
Once you've submitted your response, feel free to share the following images on your social media feed or story to spread the word to as much of our community as possible!
