Designed as a train-the-trainer model, we will provide an introduction to Census, examine frequently asked questions and scenarios about the Census, frame our messaging on the importance of being counted and address privacy concerns, and create your own Get Out The Count plan. Participants will also share best practices on how to get your personal networks involved.
