Here’s 10 tweets that tell the story of Wandsworth in data.

We’re a healthy, wealthy, well-educated & young borough - with sharp inequalities
Wandsworth’s history is the key to understanding how it is today.

Mostly farmland in 1850, its population went up 10 times over the next 50 years.

Life expectancy across the borough ranges from 77 to 88 years - depending on where you live

1/3 Today is #CensusDay. There is a direct relationship between a complete and accurate count and the services and equipment we need as a result of #COVID19.

A few key points:

☑️ A complete and accurate #census supports better funding for disaster and healthcare services.

It’s #CensusDay.

The accuracy of the count in Texas will go a long way toward determining the state’s economic, social and political future.

Catch up on some our reporting on census efforts in Texas here ⬇️bit.ly/3aznVzm
2/ @alexazura’s story from January highlights how other states put millions of dollars toward census efforts.

Texas set aside none, leaving the hard work of chasing an accurate count to local governments, nonprofits and churches. bit.ly/2UDsROp
3/ Hoping to avoid an undercount of thousands of Hispanic and black Texans, some local officials made efforts to get children engaged as a way to encourage their families to participate in the census. bit.ly/2xKiXBa

Happy #CensusDay! For those of you that have not yet completed your Census, I am asking you to please do so. It is so important that every Ohioan is counted because of the impact the U.S. Census has on our state.
It will determine things like how the roughly $675 Billion in federal funds are distributed among states and how many seats Ohio has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
By now, you should have received a notice in the mail from the @uscensusbureau with a code. You can respond online at 2020Census.gov, by phone at 844-330-2020, or by mail.

Today, Wednesday, April 1st, is #CensusDay! 🎉

For the first time in history, households can respond online.

Preventing another Black undercount is up to each and every one of us—and it is a duty we must rise to fulfill.
The Census IS important.

Historically, Black people have been undercounted in the Census, meaning critical funding for healthcare, welfare, & schools has not been accurately allocated.

With the ability to take the Census online 💻 or by phone 📲, we can change that.
That’s why today, we challenge YOU to make a difference for democracy.

Step 1. Take the #2020Census
Step 2. Post a picture of your Census envelope or computer screen
Step 3. Tag @NAACP_LDF & 5🖐🏾friends to take the #CensusChallenge

It’s time for a challenge that makes an impact! Image
