Black Census Survey


STAND-UP is partnering with Black Youth Vote, an organization that educates Black youth about their voice through voting and supporting grassroots organizers.

Together, they're working on the Black Census Project, surveying young Black folks on the most pressing issues in the Black community and how we can solve them together.

No personal information will be shared with anyone, but the survey data will be sent to community organizations and leaders to brainstorm sustainable and equitable solutions.

It only takes a couple of minutes to let your voice be heard.
