⚠️ New Jersey can't afford a 2030 Census undercount!⚠️

Take 2 minutes before the weekend to tell your legislators to support Census 2030 preparedness and invest in making sure every New Jerseyan is counted: https://loom.ly/kx2wiFs

The 2030 Census is only a few years away, and preparation must start now. Federal cuts to the Census Bureau and growing attacks on immigrant communities are putting a complete and accurate count at risk. New Jersey cannot afford to wait.

Preparing for the Census begins years before the first form is mailed. Every person missed means less funding, less representation, and fewer resources for the next decade. The stakes couldn't be higher: billions in federal funding, critical public services, and our representation in government all depend on getting the count right.

Take action today!

Every 10 years, the Census determines how much federal money NJ gets — and who represents us in Congress. Miss the count, miss the funding and representation. 2030 is closer than you think, and the infrastructure to count every New Jerseyan needs to be BUILT RIGHT NOW! Tell your legislators in Trenton to act.

New Jersey has a critical opportunity to act early, build strong infrastructure, and ensure that every community is fully counted and represented.
