To ensure a complete and accurate 2020 Census count, Philly Counts has set the goal of reaching over 200,000 households in just three Census Action Days: March 21, March 28 and April 4 through door hanger canvassing.
Volunteer with Philly Counts and take advantage of this unique opportunity to join thousands of Philadelphians in historic civic action across the city. We will need all hands on deck to get the word out about the importance of the 2020 Census and the impact it will have on our city’s future.
Door hanger canvasses are a fun, easy and effective way to increase awareness of the census. Philly Counts’ door hangers contain all the information needed to inform households about the census and motivate them to participate.
Reaching 200,000 households — about one-third of our city — is an ambitious goal, but so is our mission to get every person in Philadelphia counted. We can only do it with your help.
