The deadline has been extended to August on account of COVID-19. But you can still do it by mail, email or phone – it is important to respond though. If you ignore it, you could find yourself being harassed and hounded by a Census worker making repeated trips to your home, as what happened to me 10 years ago. If you are civic-minded, you don’t need me to explain why it’s incumbent upon you to fill out the Census form. The information you provide is used to determine how much communities receive in state and federal money for important resources, like public health, transportation and education, to name a few.
