In light of the $2 trillion stimulus plan for economic relief from COVID-19, The Policy Circle team wants to remind members that federal funding like this is often distributed to local areas based on Census data.
Today is National Census Day, and we encourage all members to take the census. Given the current COVID-19 crisis, traditional door-to-door follow up will be conducted online. You can access the 2020 Census online at https://my2020census.gov/.
You can also dive deeper into why the census matters in The Policy Circle Census Policy Brief. It would be a great topic of conversation for your circle given census data is critical to policy makers and to fund allocation from the Federal Government.
