In addition to my ministry, one of the meaningful ways I accomplish this is by serving as a census campaign partner with LA Voice, an interfaith grassroots organization uniting over 55 congregations and over 40,000 community members to encourage our brothers and sisters to be counted on the 2020 census.

Through countless phone calls, virtual town halls, telethons and digital roundtables, our faith-based community is united and working hard to make sure all of our church members are counted.

Our region, and particularly our African American communities, are expected to be undercounted in the 2020 census.

Tell your community members to take on the pledge to fill out the census and say “I matter.

Our nonprofit organizations, local businesses and our faith community must all work collectively to spread this message far and wide, especially among our African American communities.
