Let's make sure EVERY Cape Cod resident is counted in the 2020 U.S. Census!

Census data determine critical decisions such as political representation and the allocation of $675 billion of funding for health care, educational programs, buildings, roads, public transit, and other critical resources that people use every day. If we don't have a complete count in Massachusetts, our communities won't get their fair share of key resources. Cape Cod's geography and large seasonal population put it at a particularly high risk of an undercount. It also has many residents who have historically been undercounted all across Massachusetts, such as immigrants, people experiencing homelessness, low-income families, people in group housing, renters, young adults, and people with disabilities. That's why local nonprofits' leadership is so crucial. We're holding a Census awareness event with Secretary of State William Galvin at 2:00 PM, followed by a workshop where community leaders, organizational staff and key volunteers will: <ul><li>Learn and share about tools and resources to develop actionable steps for stronger awareness and outreach campaigns for a successful 2020 Census;</li><li>Be prepared to talk and connect with residents you serve;</li><li>Receive information to help with setting up outreach programs; and</li><li>Build connections between organizations to seed collaboration. </li></ul>Sign up today! We look forward to sharing ideas and laying the groundwork for a strong mobilization on the Cape.
