This pandemic is stressful for us all. People are spending a great deal of time and energy focusing on their physical health, their job, or basic needs such as food and shelter. As we come together to address these issues, we also need to recognize the importance of keeping our spirits up.
Lift Up Lou provides options to do just that. Every day, followers of @liftuplou will find a morning exercise option, an afternoon education lesson, and afternoon entertainment session, and a mindfulness exercise for the end of the day. You might be directed to a virtual tour of the Frazier History Museum, learn the basics of yoga, or find out how to make homemade playdough with your children.

The 2020 Census is happening now. Participation is important for a myriad of reasons, some of which are mentioned above. Citizens can respond online, over the phone (1.844.330.2020), or by mail - all good options to limit person-to-person contact as we seek to practice social distancing.
Keep in mind your privacy is protected. It is against the law for the Census Bureau to publicly release your responses in any way that could identify you or your household. The Census Bureau will never ask you for your social security number, donations, anything on behalf of a political party, or your bank or credit card numbers.
