Hi all, Unfortunately, on Tuesday the Supreme Court ruled in favor of suspending a district court’s order that would have allowed the 2020 census to continue through the end of October. The deadline to respond to the Census is now tomorrow morning - October 16 at 6 AM. That means there is less than 18 hours left for you, your family, friends, and community members to complete the census. If you or anyone you know has not yet responded, they can do so NOW by clicking here or calling 844-330-2020 (English) or 844-468-2020 (Spanish) and for phone options for additional languages, click here. An accurate Census count is crucial in determining the distribution of billions of federal dollars to our communities, setting legislative districts, and more. As of Oct. 13, Pennsylvania's response rate was estimated to be just 69.4% and Philadelphia's an alarming 56.5% (see response rate estimates here). PLEASE pass this on and encourage everyone to respond! Thank you, Kathy Policy Director Coalition Against Hunger | |
