An Invitation to Support the Census

by | Feb 13, 2020 | Conference Newsletter

“As the church, we can lift why census participation is critical to the Common Good. And… we can help reach those hard-to-count people and help them understand the link between the data collected and what dollars those numbers equate to – the programs affected. Programs that help so many vulnerable people.”

“Census data is essential to the betterment of our nation for today’s people and the next generation. Representation affects the state’s representation in government, the allocation of proper funding, and resources to areas of need. An accurate count empowers the people.”
