Dear John,

These uncertain times remind us all of the critical work that must be done to
strengthen our communities. A simple and safe way to support each other right
now is to complete the U.S. Census. [[link removed]]

This is a critical moment for us to shape our communities for the next 10 years. Every one of us matters, and every one of us must be counted. The Census is
more than just a population count: it helps allocate nearly a trillion dollars
in funding for things like roads, hospitals, and schools. The Census is also
used to determine political representation; it’s a powerful force in shaping how
we are represented in government.

Census data is especially vital now for emergency planning and response, and for
social programs keeping people afloat as we grapple with COVID-19. Better census
data will lead to better emergency response.

Millions of people historically have been undercounted in the Census, including
communities of color, low-income communities, immigrant communities, and
children. Today, we have the power to change that.

This Census Day, let’s spread the word: remind your friends, family members, and
loved ones to complete the U.S. Census. Complete the Census [[link removed]] and share the graphic above, tagging a loved one who you are counting on to be
counted.
