The 2020 Census – Every Person Counts!
This is the essence of the constitutional requirement to count all people every 10 years. The results of the census directly impact the ways we are represented in Congress, the amount of federal funding our community receives and the many ways that public, private and not-for-profit organizations serve our neighbors.
This is the essence of redefining ‘neighbor’ as a moral concept: Every person in our community deserves to be counted because every person counts.
