2020 Census and Elections

Our work ensured older adults were counted and engaged.
2020 Census and Elections
The Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging was awarded funding from the Minneapolis Foundation to support Complete Count Committees. These Committees were designed to support outreach and education efforts in the 2020 Census. The Leadership Council:
  1. Formed an Association of the Elder CCC's including Complete Count Committees from diverse communities.
  2. Formed Complete Count Committees (CCCs) in diverse communities. 
  3. Convened Association of Elder CCC meetings in order to develop joint strategies for action on the census on a quarterly basis since August 2019.
  4. Provided technical assistance to assist the individual CCCs in the development of outreach and other census activities.
  5. Assisted elders and other generations to apply for positions with the US Census Bureau, so they are able to play lead roles in supporting each of the CCCs.
  6. Implemented census outreach activities from the Spring 2020 through the summer of 2020.
As the 2020 census work completed, the Association of Elder CCCs also developed and implementing strategies to work on the 2020 election. This included voter registration, voter education, and get out the vote efforts. We focused on long-term strategies for organizing and building a more powerful elder voice to work on key issues in Minnesota that can impact elders and all generations.
