Don’t let momentum fade between census years. Stay visible in your community by continuing to share why the census matters—especially by telling real stories that highlight its impact.
In 2025, go deeper:
Use on-the-ground storytelling to connect the census to current issues in your community.
That might include:
-
Redistricting outcomes tied to census population data
-
Voter access issues in undercounted communities
-
Local programs that were expanded (or lost) due to shifts in federal funding
-
Efforts to defend equitable representation in city, school board, or state maps
These stories help make the census real for people—and keep it part of local conversations.
✔ Share these narratives in public meetings, organizing spaces, and with local media
✔ Use visuals or personal testimonials to highlight what’s at stake
✔ Position census equity as part of your broader advocacy and GOTC roadmap
The more people understand how census data shapes everyday life, the stronger your future mobilization efforts will be.
