THE PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN - DEMOCRATIZING THE DATA

The People's Campaign puts information and data into the hands of our residents.  We are a community based, grassroots collaborative identifying issues, setting benchmark goals and outcomes.  Our work drives the Network's research agenda and moves talk to action.  Examples of some of our reports are featured in the gallery below.  For more information or to become part of the solution, please contact Tonia at 618-5982 or send e mail to connect@makechangetogether.org.       

THE NETWORK CAN'T MOVE FORWARD UNTIL YOU MAIL IT BACK!

The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years.

The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:

• Hospitals
• Job training centers
• Schools
• Senior centers
• Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects
• Emergency services

The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.

We can't move forward until you mail it back.

In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form.

The majority of the country will receive English–only materials. Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a bilingual (English/Spanish) form.

Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law.  For information about the 2010 Census visit louisvilleky.gov/census or census.gov.

Help us spread the word!  If you would like to participate in neighborhood outreach, please send an e mail to Anthony.Smith@MakeChangeTogether.org or call 618-5979.
