Campaigns focusing on Undercount of Children
- Count All Kids Messaging and Outreach Kit – The Count All Kids Committee created this campaign to ensure parents/caregivers count all young kids and babies in the 2020 Census. The following resource center is for partners and affiliates to share messaging materials, collateral, and social assets to help you educate and motivate parents, caregivers, and heads of households to count all kids.
- Sesame Street Workshop Census Resources – Their tools promote four messages: the census is safe and private, it’s easier to complete than ever, doing so brings important resources to your neighborhood for ten years—and, most importantly, all kids count!
- Nickelodeon Resources – sign in and create an account, email required to download materials.
- Federation of Pediatric Organizations – Download posters to hang up in waiting rooms, distribute to patients, have in waiting rooms, etc. (This are mostly U.S. Census Bureau posters that are geared toward counting children – handy all in one place).
