Census

Count us in!

The 2020 census is a vital moment for our country and our democracy. People of faith are leading the way to ensure that everyone is counted.

Pledge Today

The 2020 census will profoundly impact the future of our democracy and the health of our communities. We must work together to ensure that the census promotes equality, not exclusion. In past censuses, millions of children, people of color, low-income people and immigrants have gone uncounted — perpetuating systemic racism, undermining political representation, and underfunding resources. People of faith like you can help fix that by educating our friends, neighbors and faith communities about how to participate in the 2020 Census — and why it’s so important.
