  • New infographics

Stories for Change is a joint project between the Census Counts campaign, housed at the Leadership Conference Education Fund, and NextDayBetter. It features storytellers and census advocates whose lived experiences show the deep connections between census participation and a wide spectrum of advocacy, including racial justice, immigration, disability, labor, and faith.

Each featured participant speaks directly to their own communities on the opportunity the 2020 Census presents to claim the funding, resources, and political power communities deserve. 

This expanding and downloadable collection of videos, quote graphics, and infographics was produced by NextDayBetter, and is designed to be ready-made content usable for digital organizing including, social media, textbanking, paid media, and email.
