2020 Census Digital Action Weekend — May 1-3, 2020, Join Us!

We have reached an important milestone in the 2020 Census: half of the households in our nation have responded – that’s nearly 76 million responses (link opens in new tab)!

As we recognize this achievement, we thank you for your support and ongoing effort to Get Out the Count and continued outreach to encourage self-response, especially amongst the hardest to count populations. We thank our partners, the public and everyone who has helped to shape the success of the 2020 Census.

We aim to count everyone accurately while we support efforts to protect the health and safety of the American public and the Census Bureau team. Current times are unprecedented, but they also present an opportunity to reach families digitally across the nation and work towards keeping the 2020 Census in the conversation across channels and platforms. It has never been easier to respond to the census and to help promote the census from your own home.

For this reason we are encouraging all partners, influencers, community leaders and trusted voices to join us during a Digital Action Weekend, May 1-3rd. Please use #2020Census when posting on all of your social platforms.

Key message: It’s not too late to respond to the 2020 Census while being safe and practicing social distancing at home. Once you have responded, please encourage your family, friends and loved ones to complete the census, too.

Please help us spread the word about the 2020 Census (link opens in new tab), and encourage people to respond on their own if they haven’t yet done so:
