Hi John,

We are living through unprecedented times. As a team, When We All Vote has been taking action to keep our volunteers, supporters, and every voter informed about how to stay safe, while also working to ensure everyone can continue to fully participate in our democracy. 

And we’re writing to you today to make sure you know about another opportunity for you to have your voice heard from the comfort of your home.

It’s not just Election Day in November that will decide our future. Today, we’re partnering with hundreds of organizations across the country to celebrate Census Day -- and we hope you'll join us. Take the 2020 Census right now and make sure your friends participate, too >>

The 2020 Census will create a snapshot of our country, which allows the government to allocate federal funds in a fair and equitable way. By taking the Census and encouraging your friends, extended family, and loved ones to participate too, you have a chance to make a real and important difference in your community. 

People across America are keeping their families and communities safe and healthy by providing essential services or staying home. Responding to the Census yourself -- online, by phone, or through the mail -- is another way to do your part to help keep your community strong.

So what do you need to know to take the 2020 Census?

• It’s easy: Everyone can hop online or call the Census Bureau now or wait for a pre-stamped paper form to arrive in the mail this month. 
   
• It’s important: The Census affects funding for our schools, roads and hospitals, firefighters, and resources for people who need it most -- plus so much more. It also determines our political power, including how districts are drawn or how many representatives our state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. Census data can even impact the Electoral College, which determines the outcome of our presidential elections. If we don’t get counted now, we won’t get another chance for 10 years.
   
• It’s safe: Federal law protects all data collected by the Census. Your personal information won’t be shared with anyone -- not government officials, law enforcement, or others in the community.

So remember: Everyone counts! Every neighbor, every immigrant, every child, everyone. If you’re living in America, you should be counted in the 2020 Census. Forward this email to 3 people to help us spread the word and make sure all your friends and family get counted. 

Thank you!

Erin
