Welcome to a brand new episode where we discuss the importance of the census, using art to elevate marginalized voices, and community organization with Portland advocate, educator, and writer Rebeca Alamo Gonzalez! Check it out!

With the Pandemic, the BLM protest and now the Wild Fires, there is a 6% of Oregon at risk of not being counted in the 2020 census. This are likely the most marginalized communities that can not afford to be further underfunded (houseless, BIPOC, LGBTQA+, with disabilities, immigrants, children under 5,etc.)

To take the census online: https://www.my2020census.gov

To take the census over the phone on 13 languages:

https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond/responding-by-phone.html

If someone is in need of a phone, they can make a free call on Open Signal’s Free Futel Phone in its MLK entrance. (2766 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR 97212)

To learn more about the BIPOC womxn led campaign, We Count Oregon and resources specific to all the “Hard to count” populations in Oregon visit https://www.wecountoregon.com

To learn about how the census is harm deduction for the LGBTQA+ community:
