VIDEO / POWERPOINT.  Have a listen.

Census 2020

One of the most powerful ways you can make a difference in your community is by being counted in the 2020 Census. It affects how we plan for the future, strengthen our voice in government, and allocate funding for critical public resources like roads, hospitals and schools. Learn more about how you can participate: www.smccensus.org.

NO Citizenship Question on Census 2020.

Only 10 questions. Only recording data as statistics.

Census workers take an oath for life to never share census data. If they share there is a $250,000 fine and jail time.

Federal funding and redistricting is all determined by the 2020 census.

Fill out census form online, otherwise census workers will need go door to door.

The 2020 Census is under funded. There will be few follow-up census, so online survey is being encouraged.  88%  of San Mateo county os moving to online. Paper version can be requested.

You will be able to vote at the Half Moon Bay Library.

 


 

San Mateo County needs to hire 800 Census workers $30/hour, flexible and part time.

 


 

10:1:19 city council agenda

 

Every 10 years, the federal government is required to count all residents in the United States, citizens and noncitizens alike, through a national census.  The next national census is in April 2020.  This information gathered is used to make sure everyone is equally represented in our political system and that government resources are allocated fairly.

It is also used to make important decisions about community programs and services, like where to build homes and parks, establish public transit routes, build new roads, and offer language access services.

Everyone is legally required to respond to the U.S. Census. You could be subject to a fine or limited prison term for not responding or providing false answers. However, the U.S. Census Bureau has not historically enforced these penalties.
