DON’T FORGET TO RESPOND: 2020 CENSUS REMINDER POSTCARDS ARRIVING

The U.S. Census Bureau is beginning to send reminder notice postcards to an estimated 69 million households that have not yet responded to the 2020 Census. About 53.6% of households across the country have already responded since invitations began arriving in mailboxes on March 12. Those households that have not yet responded to the census will receive an in-person visit by a census taker to collect their information later this summer.

Today – May 9 households will receive another reminder postcard in the mail. Responding now to the 2020 Census will minimize the need for a census taker to visit your home later this year. For more information, visit 2020census.gov.

2020 CENSUS DIGITAL ACTION WEEKEND – MAY 1-3, 2020, JOIN US!

We have reached an important milestone in the 2020 Census: half of the households in our nation have responded!

As we recognize this achievement, we thank you for your support and ongoing effort to Get Out the Count and continued outreach to encourage self-response, especially amongst the hardest to count populations. We thank our partners, the public, and everyone who has helped to shape the success of the 2020 Census.

We aim to count everyone accurately while we support efforts to protect the health and safety of the American public and the Census Bureau team. Current times are unprecedented, but they also present an opportunity to reach families digitally across the nation and work towards keeping the 2020 Census in the conversation across channels and platforms. It has never been easier to respond to the census and to help promote the census from your own home.

For this reason, we are encouraging all partners, influencers, community leaders and trusted voices to join us during a Digital Action Weekend, May 1-3rd. Please use #2020Census when posting on all of your social platforms.

Key message: It’s not too late to respond to the 2020 Census while being safe and practicing social distancing at home. Once you have responded, please encourage your family, friends and loved ones to complete the census, too.

Please help us spread the word about the 2020 Census, and encourage people to respond on their own if they haven’t yet done so:

Post content on social media to show your commitment to responding to the 2020 Census.
Share and like posts from our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts with stakeholders, friends, and family for the most current information on 2020 Census operations.
Visit the 2020 Census Social Hub for customizable graphics to share your support for a complete and accurate count.
Check out the Response Rates Map and Rankings Dashboard to see how your hometown is doing and encourage your stakeholders, family, and friends to participate. It’s a great way to track the progress of the nation’s self-response. The map is updated every afternoon to reflect the self-response rate of the country and of each state, county, city, census tract, congressional district, and tribal area.
Join the Census Counts campaign for a Twitter Town Hall on May 1^st at 1:00 pm ET.
