Friend,
Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court [[link removed]] , the 2020 Census will now conclude on October 15th at 11:59PM Hawaii time (October 16th, 5:59AM Eastern Daylight Time) . It is critical each and every Arab American respond to the 2020 Census before the deadline and include information on their ethnic heritage. Our representation in Congress, funding for our children's schools, and our access to health services for the next decade will depend on data from the 2020 Census. The 2020 Census is safe, easy, and takes less than ten minutes to complete.

If you have already filled out your form and included detailed information regarding your ethnic heritage and counted all members of your household, please visit yallacountmein.org [[link removed]] to find social media shareables and bilingual information regarding the importance of a complete and accurate count of Arab Americans on the 2020 Census. Share these resources on social media with #YallaCountMeIn and ask your friends to do the same. Check in with your friends and extended family members to ensure they completed their 2020 Census with detailed, accurate information.

REMEMBER: If you are living in the United States, you must complete the 2020 Census. There is NOT a question regarding citizenship or legal status. Your personally identifiable information (name and address) will be kept confidential and will not be shared with any other government agency.

This is our last chance to secure a complete and accurate count of our community on the 2020 Census. Yalla, can we count you in?
