Faith Communities 2020 Census Weekend of Action is Here

Update: We've fixed the link to an important video message from Faith Leaders.

This weekend, March 27-29, is the 2020 Census Faith Communities Weekend of Action. Faith leaders have a strong connection to the communities they serve, including hard-to-count populations, and can make a real difference in achieving a complete 2020 Census count.

About the 2020 Census

The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census will count everyone who lives in the U.S. as of April 1, 2020. Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years.
