The Arc of Massachusetts:
2020 Census Text Banking

Join The Arc team in 2020 Census Text Banking! On June 22 from 4:00-5;00PM, The Arc's census team will be conducting outreach text banking to target the disability community and allies. We’re looking for volunteers to help send out texts. We’ll start with a brief training and then work together to send out the targeted texts about the 2020 Census.

The census has understandably taken a backseat in many people’s minds as they deal with job loss, illness, or other effects of COVID- 19. Still, we know that getting counted is key to ensuring the disability community has the resources they need during and after this crisis.

As the Census Bureau begins its field operations and as we move closer to non-response follow up, it’s critical that we reengage the public, elected officials, businesses, and other advocacy organizations in driving self-response and ensuring our communities don’t miss out on their rights and resources.

Contact Ellen Taverna (Taverna@arcmass.org) or Kathleen Amaral (KAmaral@arcmass.org) if you are interested and they will provide additional information.
