Churches asked to help

Join us for Faith Communities Census Weekend of Action July 24-26. We are asking our faith partners to promote the 2020 Census and encourage communities and congregations to respond. 

How you can get involved:

• Post on your organization's social media (social media messages are provided below)
• Host a virtual event that features the 2020 Census and encourage your community to increase self-response rates
• Send an email blast to your mailing list about responding to the 2020 Census
• Include information in your virtual sermons or church bulletins about responding to the census
• Look through our Action Guide or meet with your Partnership Specialists for more ideas
