Important 2020 Census Information

3/31/2020

 
A message from the folks at 2020 Census:

Good Morning,
We are all experiencing these unprecedented times with the spread of  COVID19.  Things are changing rapidly every day and we are coping with uncertain circumstances.  Census as you probably know has stopped field operations until April 1st.  We have halted the hiring process at this time, but are still taking applications online.  2020census.gov/jobs or 1-855-562-2020.
 
CENSUS OPERATIONAL SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS 
Our revised schedule can be found by clicking here.      

April 1st 2020 is still Census Day.


WHAT CAN WE DO?

Right now the most important thing we can do is reach out through social media: to partners, employees, friends, constituents to motivate them to self-respond at  2020 Census -- online or by phone
 
Materials we are providing:
2020 CENSUS VIRTUAL MEDIA TOOLKIT: 
This digital toolkit (click here) can help you reach residents, constituents, family and friends by providing tools to assist with social media and texting efforts., which includes sample messages and blurbs, links, challenges, being provided mostly in English. Our staff worked hard to prepare the toolkit with limited resources and technology during this difficult time. We can certainly use your help in translating the material into the language spoken by your community
 
GET OUT THE COUNT VIDEO CHALLENGE (GOTC) 
Here is an exciting new opportunity for those who enjoy a creative challenge: The Get Out The Count (GOTC) Video Challenge is live and a lucky, but talented, winner will pocket a grand prize of up to $30,000!
  • GOTC information and rules available here

  • GOTC challenge posts available on challenge.gov

TRACK RESPONSE RATES
This is a fun site to watch.  You can click and see daily self -response rates for our state, towns, cities, or Census tract.  2020 Census Response Rate Map.

It contains a treasure trove of tools and filters to retrieve and download data.

 
I have also added a list of the phone numbers in English and other languages.
