The Census is a count of all the people in the United States. It’s used to distribute $400 billion every year in government money to communities for schools, hospitals, and programs like job training that help people. It’s also used by businesses to determine where to open new shops, grocery stores, and restaurants.

The Census form comes in the mail, and takes about 10 minutes to fill out and send back. The form does not ask about immigration status.

In times like these, it doesn’t make sense to leave money on the table for somebody else to take. We contribute to this country – and our families and community deserve their fair share. Filling out the Census form helps organizations that advocate for our families and community fight for our fair share of government money.

Filling out the Census form is a free and easy way to fight for the resources and respect our community deserves. It’s up to each of us to make sure our community counts.

Be smart. Be counted.
