Subject: Last Chance to Participate in the 2020 Census!!!!!

Time is running out! With the news that the Supreme Court is allowing the Trump Administration to cut the census short, that gives us less than 48 hours to ask people to fill out their census, NOW! Here's how people can make sure they are counted:

  *   ONLINE at 2020Census.gov by October 15, 2020 at 11:59 pm Hawaii Standard Time (HST) (6:00 am Eastern Daylight Time on October 16, 2020)
  *   BY PHONE at 844-330-2020 (English) or 844-468-2020 (Spanish) through October 15.
  *   PAPER census questionnaires must be postmarked by October 15, 2020.

Join us for a few events to help do what we can to get out the count in the last hours.

  1.  Text bank with LCCR! We will have 3 opportunities to text bank people across the country to ask them to fill out the census. Sign up below to join and help get out the count.
