Complete Count Committee Athens GA

TODAY (Oct. 15) IS THE LAST DAY TO COMPLETE THE CENSUS!

If you've already completed it, thank you!

If you haven't yet, don't delay! Visit http://My2020Census.gov and spend 10 minutes to help define the next 10 years of life in Athens.

With 5️⃣ DAYS LEFT to complete your Census, here are 5️⃣ WAYS Census data has and could continue to be used to make Athens a better place:

1️⃣ Businesses use Census data to decide where to open offices and stores, which create jobs. 👨🏿‍🏭🏻‍👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏿‍🔬👩🏽‍🍳👩🏼‍🌾

2️⃣ Schools use Census data to help decide the number of teachers and staff they need to hire, which schools need to be expanded, and more. ‍👩🏾‍🏫👨🏽‍🎓

3️⃣ Real estate developers use Census data to know how many and where to build or revitalize homes. 🏠🏡

4️⃣ Local governments use the Census data for public safety and emergency preparedness. 🚑🧯

5️⃣ Local organizations--including libraries, food banks, after-school programs, health clinics, and more--use Census data to plan their programs and secure the funding they need to better serve all Athenians 👧🏾👨🏻🧓🏼🧕🏾👱🏻‍♂️👩🏿‍🦱👱‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️👳🏾‍♂️🤱🏼🤰🏿

Listen, we get it. This summer was unlike any other and the Census may have honestly slipped your mind.

But now you've got only 6 days -- until MONDAY, OCTOBER 5 -- to get it done.

So hop over to www.my2020census.gov and invest 10 minutes of your time now to support our schools, hospitals, and community initiatives for the next 10 years.

As we count down to the first day of virtual classes for our Athens kiddos, here's a quick reminder about how the Census will impact their education in the next 10 years.

If you have not completed your Census yet, take 5 minutes to do so now via www.My2020Census.gov. It's quick, safe and confidential.
