23 Nov US Census Bureau Partners!
Here at Greenway Arts Alliance, we love to connect Melrose Trading Post patrons with organizations and causes that impact our community. Today we are grateful to receive the following certificate for partnering with the US Census Bureau as a location where people could take the census.
It’s important to be counted! Thank you to the US Census Bureau for partnering with Greenway Arts Alliance this year.
“The 2020 Census underwent many unprecedented challenges. Thankfully, these were met in partnership with you. Some of the most impactful partnerships occurred through your multiple outreach efforts which increased the public’s awareness of the importance of completing the census and mobilized our hard-to-count communities to participate.” – Julie Lam, Los Angeles Regional Director
About the 2020 Census
The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census counts everyone who lived in the U.S. on April 1, 2020. Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years.
