From Our Friends At The Partnership For America's Children:
APRIL 1 COUNT ALL KIDS
BLOG & GUIDANCE
April 1 is Census Day. Count All Kids is using April 1 to get the word out that families have to count everyone at their address, including all temporary residents who have no permanent address. We are doing this because our focus groups showed us that people really didn’t understand that they were supposed to count temporary residents, and the only message that persuaded them was tied to April 1. Since so many families with young children live in doubled up housing or couch surf, this is a very important message for counting young children.
We hope you will join us in getting the word out.
Make Sure Every Child is Counted Today
Today, April 1, is the official reference date for the Census Bureau. On this day we are highlighting families living in a temporary housing situation. Our outreach message is to tell people to count all children at their address who have no permanent residence.
We have one 30 second and one 60 second radio reader specific to counting young children on April 1. This is a great resource to send to radio stations on or around Census Day.
Access the radio readers here.
We will be having a Tweetstorm Today at 1pm ET. Please join us in highlighting that temporary residents,and their young children and babies, count too!
Access the toolkit here.
