Council 4 Urges Members To Participate in the 2020 U.S. Census

Council 4 is urging members and their families to fill out the 2020 Census to ensure they have a voice at all levels of government and their fair share of public resources.

Participating in the Census is yet another way that we as AFSCME members can stand up for our communities, especially during a time when public services are in such urgent demand.
