Subject: Building a Complete Census Count - Resources and Opportunities

We are thrilled to report that Arlington’s self-response rate is now at 74.2% of households, surpassing the 2010 self-response rate!

Our recent dynamic discussion, A Call to Action: The Challenge of Building a Complete Count<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVhlotDzhGuk%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb492054794b64eb5597f08d843b13b3a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637333775762065991&sdata=qXJIRetxInGgSD07DwaDo6GYTSUVYdBfdGMkOTpgkFI%3D&reserved=0>, delved into the many challenges we face as the Census count enters the final stretch. With the challenges posed by Covid-19 and the truncated Census Non-response Follow Up timeline, we are doubling down on community outreach, social media and engagement to ensure that everyone in Arlington knows why it’s important to participate in the 2020 Census and how to be counted.

An important upcoming event, Census Palooza II,<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F8050a4eaeaf28a2f58-census1&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb492054794b64eb5597f08d843b13b3a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637333775762075987&sdata=BXsKrN4SOXUU84H3gcmIKxx8BR9A%2FH5xpD7S9PsALRg%3D&reserved=0> will focus on three low response areas and include activities with safe social distancing such as distributing door hangers, providing education, and offering opportunities to take the Census in real time. We are also planning a series of Census “pop ups” to help people take the Census. Please lend a hand! If you speak a language other than English, please note that when you sign up:

  *   Census Palooza II – Sat., Aug. 29: Help people take the Census at Arlington’s Census Palooza II on Sat., Aug. 29! We’ll have giveaways, door-hanging distribution opportunities, fire truck visits, and more.

     *   Sign up to Volunteer with Census Palooza II<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signupgenius.com%2Fgo%2F8050a4eaeaf28a2f58-census1&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cb492054794b64eb5597f08d843b13b3a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637333775762085983&sdata=YbmANuBGtkvPXtsi36FTubVoBX5MB9z4uRa7RitAkUY%3D&reserved=0> on Aug. 29
