Invitations to participate in the 2020 Census were sent mid March. This year, you can respond online, by phone, or mail. If you need assistance completing your Census online this year, or if you have other questions, please contact Stuart Feinhor by email.
The U.S. Census Bureau will never ask you for your social security number, banking information, money/donations, or anything on behalf of a political party. If someone claiming to be from the U.S. Census Bureau knocks at your door, you can verify their legitimacy by making sure they have a valid ID badge with their photograph, a U.S. Department of Commerce watermark, and an expiration date.
If you suspect fraud, call the Census Bureau at 800-923-8282 to speak with a representative about your suspicions. If it is determined that the person who came to your door does not work for the Census Bureau, please file a police report with your local police department.
Check out this link for updated dates and deadlines for completing the 2020 Census. Self-response (online, phone, mail) deadlines have been extended to Aug. 14.

Sit comfortably and take a deep, slow breath in through the nose and into the diaphragm for 4 seconds.
Hold for 7 seconds and breathe out slowly through the mouth 8 seconds (place tip of tongue on the ridge on the upper palate of the mouth while exhaling).
Repeat 10 times.
If you are hyperventilating, cup your hands over your mouth and breathe slowly. Keep breathing as you would normally to regain the carbon dioxide levels in your system.
(From Dr. Andrew Weil)
History will remember when the world stopped
And the flights stayed on the ground
And the cars parked in the street
And the trains didn't run.
History will remember when the schools closed
And the children stayed indoors
And the medical staff walked towards the fire
And they didn't run.
History will remember when the people sang
On their balconies, in isolation
But so very much together
In courage and song.
History will remember when the people fought
For their old and their weak
Protected the vulnerable
By doing nothing at all.
History will remember when the virus left
And the houses opened
And the people came out
And hugged and kissed
And started again
Kinder than before.
-Donna Ashworth
