Census Bureau Announces All Counting to Stop Tomorrow Night - Thursday, October 15
The U.S. Census Bureau has announced its plan to stop all enumeration efforts by midnight on Thursday, October 15. This announcement is in response to the U.S. Supreme Court suspension of the temporary injunction that had kept the count in the 2020 Census going. 
 
According to the Census Bureau:
•            Internet self-response will be available through October 15 until 11:59 pm Hawaii Standard Time (4:00 am Mountain Time on October 16).
 
•            Phone response will be available during regularly scheduled hours through October 15.
 
•            Paper responses must be postmarked by October 15.
 
•            Nonresponse Followup census takers will continue resolving nonresponding addresses through the end of the day on October 15.
There are now less than 48 hours for our friends, family and neighbors to stand up and be counted. The time is NOW.
 
They can easily participate at my2020census.gov or by calling (844) 330-2020.
