AFGE Family -
AFGE’s Women’s and Fair Practices Departments (WFP) and National YOUNG
Committee are working together to mobilize AFGE members around the
upcoming 2020 Census. We want to ensure that AFGE members and their
families are counted during this year’s census.
The U.S. Constitution mandates that everyone in the country be counted
every 10 years and the first census was conducted in 1790. This is an
important process because it helps determine the allocation of critical
resources to our communities.

As union activists we can make a difference by educating our neighbors and
completing the 2020 Census when it comes to our homes. Census results have
an impact on planning and funding for health clinics, highways, fire
departments, disaster response, education programs such as Head Start
and college tuition assistance, drawing of federal, state, and local
legislative districts, and much more.
In mid-March, homes across the country will begin receiving invitations to
complete the 2020 Census. Once the invitation arrives, you should respond
for your home in one of three ways: online, by phone, or by mail.
Please share the 2020 Census information with your families, friends, and
communities. Help WFP lift every voice in AFGE by making sure we’re counted
in the 2020 Census! For more information please visit www.afge.org/2020census.
In Solidarity,
AFGE National YOUNG Committee
