Dear Colleagues, Happy New Year from all of us at the National Coalition for Literacy! As we embark on this decennial Census year, we reiterate how crucial it will be for adult learners and their communities to be fully counted in 2020. Equitable representation and distribution of government funding depend on it.   To help achieve a full and fair Census count, NCL has created a resource page (https://national-coalition-literacy.org/research/the-2020-census/) that gives adult education practitioners tools for supporting adult learners in understanding and completing the Census. In the coming weeks we will be using all of our communications platforms (website, blog posts, email, social media, webinars, and conference presentations) to help educate and mobilize these hard-to-count populations.  Will you please help us build awareness and share these resources among your members and colleagues? You can easily do so by forwarding this email to your contacts and encouraging them to take the following actions: Sign up for National Coalition for Literacy emails at https://bit.ly/2SCQFBg Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NationalCoalitionforLiteracy/ Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/NCLAdvocacy Read our blog posts and sign up for upcoming webinars at http://www.national-coalition-literacy.org Thank you in advance for your support.
