THE CAMPAIGN
#WhyWeCount
Dear Filipinos and Puertorriqueños, our count matters.
If we are not counted in this 2020 Census, we will miss out on housing for those affected by Hurricane Maria, healthcare for undocumented and documented immigrants, and quality education for the next generation. Participating in the Census can shape our communities for the next 10 years.
