The Cook County Complete Count Commission has designated the week of March 30 through April 3 Census Awareness Week.  The Cook County Complete Count Census Commission’s Program Administrator, The William Everett Group, will lead the coordinated campaign to engage Cook County residents in the leadup to April 1, National Census Day.  Outreach will include messaging via all of the County’s social media sites and outreach via radio, television, billboards and mobile messaging.  There will be themes specifically targeted to hard-to-count populations, and posts from the Commission members that include personalized messages, GIFS and video.  The #WeCountChallenge poster and video competition, targeted to young people in grades K – 12, will launch this week. Children and youth K-12 are encouraged to create a poster or video that creatively shows why it’s important for their community to be counted in the 2020 Census. Prizes will be awarded according to age. Cook County residents are encouraged to complete the census now by visiting my2020census.gov.  In most cases it takes less than 10 minutes.  For more information, visit Cook County Census 2020.
