#CensusPushWeek Why were pushing: How many people #CensusPushWeek Why were pushing: How many people are there in Syracuse for our government to pave roads for? Provide school lunch and daycare for? Invest in jobs and healthcare for? Well, that’s why we take a Census every 10 years and it’s also why an undercount can be damaging to our ability to support our city residents. Every person. Every home. Our Census Outreach team has been hard at work hosting safe Census Push Week Pop-Ups with one yesterday at Union Park. We handed out 70 meals from Miss Prissy Catering from Salt City Market, spoke with families and encouraged them to complete their census, and helped 17 households complete their census in the spot. We organized with support from the U.S. Census Bureau, Planned Parenthood, Huntington Family Centers, Hopeprint, Interfaith Works, #YWCA, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights Education Fund, and New York Counts 2020. This week, we need your push. 1. Visit 2020census.gov and complete YOUR census 2. Join us at our NEXT event: Census Surge Week @ the Creators Lounge: https://facebook.com/events/s/census-surge-week-the-creators/788395158370558/?ti=icl 3. #share #census2020 #2020census #census #censuspushweek #shapeyourfuture #wecount
