If April 1 was the final exam, we all failed ☠️Good thing we have until October 31 to fill out the Census! How does your city stack up against the national average of 56% response rate in May?

[Wake Up Atlanta @Wakeup_Atlanta]

Just to clear things up: April 1 was NOT a deadline. The Census Bureau has extended the timeline until October 31, 2020. Please continue to urge your friends and family to participate in the Census!

You have lots of 10 minutes now that we're all stuck - LET'S DO THIS. Today is the start of U.S. Census' digital weekend of action and the #BeSeenBeCounted campaign. We're gonna post a bunch of content and you don't have to share it all, but maybe like ... one???

[Wake Up Atlanta @Wakeup_Atlanta]

Georgia is #35 in Census participation rate.
We need to GET 👏🏼 IT 👏🏼 TOGETHER 👏🏼 YALL. Tag a friend to remind them that Florida, Alabama and Tennessee are ahead of us.

We get it - our concept of time and space is all off whack these days so who can blame you? If you aren't sure if you've filled out the Census, go ahead and click "If you don't have a Census ID, click here"

[Wake Up Atlanta @Wakeup_Atlanta]

It's #NationalCensusDay 📬!!!!!! Help us remind your friends and family that this is a BIG DEAL. Post your own photo to share how easy it was to fill out the Census or help us spread the word by sharing this art by the talented @thetapebeast!

Joining the youths to #hiteverybeat and deliver the more important message: #counteveryperson ✌🏼

[Wake Up Atlanta @Wakeup_Atlanta]

You got hyped to fill out the Census and did it a little too quickly. Now what? Dooon't worry if you make a mistake - just click "If you do not have a Census ID, click here." link and you redo it.

10/10 would slide in your DM's if we could, but for now we'll stick to mailboxes. Look for this envelope in the mail and make sure you're counted!

[Wake Up Atlanta @Wakeup_Atlanta]

We want to brag to our moms that WE FINALLY MADE IT because we were on @NPR this morning with Rose Scott. Buuuut the only three letters our mamas are waiting on are PHD, soooooo y'all gonna have to validate us instead, Wake Up, ATL fam.

[Wake Up Atlanta @Wakeup_Atlanta]

Another worrisome virus affecting both the young and old today is the thinking that you cannot make a difference. If you're here, you count. #StandUpBeCounted
