在舊金山人口普查參與率落後全美平均之際，青少年藝術家與作家要給尚未填寫人口普查問卷的民眾一個特別的訊息：「別讓我們消失。」
這些青少年是人口普查競賽「為何我的家庭應該被統計」（Why My Family Counts）的得獎者，他們在6月3日舉行的網路頒獎典禮上如此呼籲。這項競賽吸引了超過100位青少年參賽，項目包括水彩、素描、詩詞、作文、演講和影片，競賽目的在讓青少年參與推動確保正確人口統計的過程。
頒獎典禮由多位民權領袖和人口普查專家致詞展開序幕，他們對堅持要被人口普查統計的青少年，和全國針對種族暴力的抗議活動做了直接的連結。

這場討論會由少數族裔媒體服務中心（Ethnic Media Services）主辦，出席的嘉賓包括華裔聯邦眾議員劉雲平（Ted Lieu）、紐約聯邦儲備銀行（New York Federal Reserve Bank）董事菲利普斯（Charles Phillips）、創投業者暨加州州長紐森（Gavin Newsom）創業工作小組成員柯林斯（Shelly Kapoor Collins）和ZIBA美容沙龍執行長巴特拉（Sumita Batra）。
國家經濟研究局（National Bureau of Economic Research）4月公布的一份調查報告指出，美國有超過10萬家小商戶被迫永久停業，43%的受訪商戶表示目前已暫停營業，並已裁員40%。
國家獨立企業聯合會（National Federation of Independent Businesses）的調查結果也顯示，六成的受訪商戶表示，如果眼下的大環境持續，他們將被迫在勞工節前結束營業。在加州，95%的企業被歸類為小型企業。
