It's never been easier to respond to the census on your own

The Census Bureau continues to carefully monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation.

The key message right now is: It has never been easier to respond to the census on your own—whether online at 2020census.gov, over the phone, or by mail—all without having to meet a census taker.

Promotion of census participation is important, particularly to support challenges like the coronavirus (COVID-19).

How You Can Safely Promote Census Response

Here are some of the many ways you can safely promote the 2020 Census:

  • Post a blog or video message from your leadership encouraging census response.

  • Send notices to your employees and email lists to encourage response. Leverage collaboration platforms, employee resource groups, text messages, and customer bills and receipts.

  • Host a webinar or teleconference to share census information and answer questions.

  • Write letters to the editor or op-eds on why census participation is important, particularly to support challenges like the coronavirus (COVID-19).

  • Provide free advertising opportunities to promote the 2020 Census.

  • Actively monitor, fact check, and correct census misinformation on social networks.
