The Census and Local Government Services

2020 Census Information Session: How Will the 2020 Census Impact You and Your Community? The Census and Local Government Services

Join Councilman Canek Aguirre and city staff for the third in a three-part series featuring panel discussions on the 2020 Census and why it is so important for EVERYONE to respond. For every 1% of Alexandrians not counted, the city loses $18 million dollars in federal funding over the next ten years. In this session, we examine which city services are most heavily impacted by Alexandria's response rates to the census - and how an undercount will affect the everyday lives of ourselves, our friends, and our neighbors.

This webinar will take place using Zoom. A Zoom account is not required. Attendees will have their cameras off and their microphones muted, but will have the opportunity to ask questions using a chat box. If you have issues accessing Zoom, please e-mail Hannah Risley at hrisley@alexlibraryva.org for assistance prior to the webinar. You will need speakers or headphones to hear the webinar.
