A friendly reminder to complete your 2020 Census form!

2020 Census invitations are being delivered in the mail
between March 12 and March 26.  

As you may know, census data impacts funding for SNAP benefits, school lunches, special education programs in our schools, improvements in our streets and highways, and much more! The census data is also used to determine the number of US congressional representatives for each state. Illinois may lose 2 congressional seats!

The text messaging system, below, may be of assistance to you:

• Text Pledge to 987987 to show your commitment to completing the Census form.
• Text Question to 987987 to ask a question about the 2020 Census
• Text JOBS to 987987 to find out about employment opportunities for the census.

We pray you are staying safe and healthy during this coronavirus emergency. Please shelter in place and be well.

God bless you and your families,

Roy Williams Jr.,
President - Faith Coalition for the Common Good
