With the ongoing crisis, it’s more important than ever to participate in the ongoing, once-a-decade United States Census.

Today, April 1, is Census Day! Do your part by completing your Census form and encouraging others to do the same! Millions in federal funding for education programs depend on getting a complete count of Michigan residents – not to mention resources to help continue combating the COVID-19 outbreak.

You can confidentially and securely fill out your Census form online in about 10 minutes at www.my2020census.gov or by calling 844-330-2020.

To learn more about the importance of the Census, visit the state’s official census page at www.michigan.gov/census2020.

Don’t forget to help spread the word, especially on social media – here are some tips from the State’s “Be Counted” project.
