2020 Census Phone Banking

Description

The We Count Washington campaign, of which UWKC is a leading partner, is facilitating a Day of Action on Wednesday, September 16th, to ensure everyone who calls Washington State home is counted in the 2020 Census. 

The census count shows where resources are needed for things like safe housing, education, access to healthcare, and more. These are resources we need now more than ever as we battle the devastating impacts of COVID-19 and navigate the difficult path of recovery. The census count also determines how our communities are represented—how legislative districts are drawn, how many representatives we have in Congress, and how many votes we have in the Electoral College.

With just a few weeks left and many more people who haven’t been counted, we are calling on allies and partners across the state to join us in a final effort to help our communities be counted. 

Volunteers will call or text a list of contacts who have used UWKC services within the last year to encourage them to fill out the census.
