Join the Lt. Governor; Connecticut Complete Count Committee; and the U.S. Census Bureau for Connecticut’s first create-a-thon to reach hard-to-count communities!
Â
Over the course of four informative and festive hours, we’ll dive into targeted briefs from local organizations, connect with a diverse group of talented people, and collaboratively generate digital media and compelling messages that spread awareness about the 2020 Census to communicate the importance of a complete and accurate count for the Connecticut community.Â
RSVP by November 4th as seating is limited.

We know the importance of voting and the impacts it has on our nation every election day. But what about the Decennial Census? The count of United States population sets our country's trajectory for the next decade, determining congressional apportionment (the number of seats each state gets in the House of Representatives), redistricting, and how the allocation of close to $700 billion dollars is annually distributed to cities across the nation.
Many organizations leading Census outreach efforts have limited creative and/or digital capacity. As trusted voices in our communities, it is vital that their grassroots outreach efforts be amplified online to reach as many people as possible.Â
#connecticutforthecount matches creative talent (designers, copywriters, content strategists, video-makers, etc.) with those organizations so that they can conduct more effective digital outreach, with the ultimate goal of increasing response rates among the hardest-to-count communities that they serve.
