We’ve created a Census Kit<https://www2.sesame.org/e/293712/0-0310-Census-utm-content-text/6yckfc/666053464?h=XkRMJMF9kmdBN12MmEEFYj-X90FmTZsiLA9E3tufK_k> to help remind families that every child deserves to be counted. The kit is FREE and features materials in English and Spanish. The kit includes: • 6 video PSAs and 1 audio PSA emphasizing the need to count all kids, and how the census brings resources to communities. • 24x36 color poster encouraging everyone to Make Your Family Count! • 8.5x11 flyer for caregivers describing how to complete the census. • Social media graphics with suggested posts and hashtags.

Try these ideas: Posters + Flyers • Print and hang anywhere kids and caretakers spend time (such as doctors’ offices, libraries, daycare centers). • Send them home with families to help remind them how to make all children count. • Attach or embed in an e-newsletter to colleagues and families. Videos • Share on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. • Embed videos on your organization’s website. • Show families in waiting rooms or at consultations, or appointments, or parent-teacher conferences. • Send an email to census@sesame.org<mailto:census@sesame.org> to request video files if needed for other applications. Social Media Assets • Follow Sesame Street on Twitter<https://www2.sesame.org/e/293712/sesamestreet/6yckff/666053464?h=XkRMJMF9kmdBN12MmEEFYj-X90FmTZsiLA9E3tufK_k> and Facebook<https://www2.sesame.org/e/293712/SesameStreet-/6yckfh/666053464?h=XkRMJMF9kmdBN12MmEEFYj-X90FmTZsiLA9E3tufK_k> and retweet, like, share, and comment on our #2020Census posts. • Use #CountAllKids and encourage your followers to do the same. • Share the graphics and count all the ways kids matter!
