Voting rights advocate and former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is lending her voice to be one of many behind a new campaign and public service announcement aimed at getting Americans to fill out their 2020 Census forms.
The PSA campaign #BeCounted has partnered with Abrams’ Fair Count organization and Harness, a census count advocacy and social change group founded by actors America Ferrera, Wilmer Valderrrama and Ryan Piers Williams.
It's how we allocate $1.5 trillion in investment every year, and it's also how we allocate political power for a decade," Abrams said to Entertainment Weekly.
Abrams has been involved in the fight for voting rights and census count initiatives for years.
As for the new PSA, Abrams said that she wants to remove the political emphasis and focus on making sure people are counted.
