Census 2020

Census Matters

The census determines where billions of dollars of government funding will go, to programs like education and healthcare, to communities like ours for a decade to come. Our communities and organizations are depending on people to be counted in the Census for funding. In 2017 alone, $1.5 trillion of federal spending was allocated on the basis of Census Bureau data.

Living Islands, with funding from EPIC, is producing material for the Micronesian communities to bring awareness about the upcoming Census 2020. The goal is to produce a number of informative social media posts for sharing between community members, emphasizing the importance of Census and how is affects services provided to our community members.

You can complete the 2020 Census by mail, online at my2020census.gov, or call ‪1-800-330-2020‬ to complete over the phone. You can also fill out the census now by clicking this link:

Census 2020 Workshop

As part of our effort to inform our local Pacific Islander communities about the Census in 2020 and understand why it is so important for us to be counted, Living Islands was responsible for conducting a Census 2020 Workshop with our Marshallese community Leaders in Salem, Oregon, in December 2019.
