Friend,

[ [link removed] ]The 2020 Census is HERE! The census is one of the best ways to make
sure your community can thrive – make sure your friends and family have
all the information that they need to participate in the census. Go to
my2020census.gov now to complete the census online >>  

So much is at stake for our communities and environment right now, and
that’s why I want to make sure you have all the information you need for
you and your community to participate in the census. 

In case you didn’t know, the U.S. Census counts the population so that the
federal government can impact:

 1. How many representatives each state gets in Congress.
 2. How billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and
communities.
 3. How our communities’ schools, health and infrastructure will be
impacted.

 

Want to help out your local schools? Fix that road? Improve public school
education? The data gathered by the Census is critical to how our
communities are seen, heard, and funded.

 

Make sure you count:

* Participate online. This is the first year that households will be
able to respond online. Households have been able to complete the
online questionnaire since mid March. Don’t fret, here’s a [ [link removed] ]video
that walks you through the process.
* Or participate by [ [link removed] ]phone.
* Or participate by mail. Since mid-March, households have been
receiving official U.S. Census Bureau mailings with detailed
information on how to respond to the 2020 Census. Simply follow
[ [link removed] ]these guidelines and mail your form back.
* Participate in the census using the language that is the most
comfortable for you. Households in the United States speak a variety
of languages, so the [ [link removed] ]Census Bureau is providing multiple ways for 
households to respond in the language most comfortable for them --
including English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, and more. 
* Make sure the census is accessible for you. People with disabilities
have historically been hard to count within the census. There are a
[ [link removed] ]number of resources to make the process accessible. 
* The census is completely confidential. The census is a count of
everyone in the United States, no matter your immigration status. Your
information is completely confidential. [ [link removed] ]Read all about it here.

Filling it out will only take a few minutes! We know it might be hard to
see past the current situation, but in order to make ​sure California
receives its fair share, we must have the right amount of funding and
representation. You count, so make sure you're counted!

[ [link removed] ]Don’t put off responding. Do it today.

 

Stay healthy and take care!

 

In solidarity,

Jennifer Molina
Director of Communications
