THE U.S. CENSUS DEADLINE HAS BEEN MOVED! You only have until 11:59pm TONIGHT, 10/15, to fill out the Census.

The U.S. Census has a massive impact on the health of our communities—it determines how the government will fund essential programs like Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Plan (SNAP) and will also determine how we’re represented in Congress. For every person that isn’t counted by the Census, states can lose tens of thousands of dollars in federal funding over the next 10 years.

Advancement Project National Office is asking you to show up for your friends, family, and neighbors. Fill out the census NOW at my2020census.gov.
