Your Census Response Determines Billions in Federal Spending; Please Respond Now

Data collected by the US Census determines the number of seats each state has in the House of Representatives, how congressional and state legislative districts are drawn, and how billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs. Currently, 54% of UCI-affiliated persons have been counted in the 2020 Census. Please enter your secure response at www.2020census.gov  today. The deadline to respond is Oct. 31, however the enumeration process, where census representatives begin to visit homes of residents who have not yet responded, will begin soon. During this time when cases of COVID-19 are again rising in the area, all University Hills residents are encouraged to complete a Census response electronically.

#MASKS4ALL Movement Uses Science and Data to Promote Mask Wearing to Stop COVID-19

#Masks4All is an excellent source of information on how cloth masks work to protect people from becoming infected with or spreading COVID-19. The site features scientific evidence showing that even a basic face covering such as a paper towel blocks speech droplets containing the COVID-19 virus. It also links to a letter advocating for making mask wearing a requirement. The letter is signed by more than 100 prominent academics, including several University Hills residents. The ultimate purpose of the Masks4All movement is to educate and compel countries across the world to require mask wearing in public.
