The #2020Census kicks off this week! Beginning on March 12th, every household in the US will receive an invitation to participate in the Census–you can respond online, over the phone or via mail. Once you receive that invitation, you can respond online, by phone, or by mail.
Why is it crucial for all New Yorkers to participate in #GetCountedNYC? Because the #2020Census results will determine how NY federal programs are funded! The more people that respond, the more $$ NY gets for:
🟢schools
🟢hospitals
🟢trains & buses
🟢housing
🟢highways & bridges

The #Census is SO important.
Heard a great metaphor to explain it to people: it’s like RSVPs for a party, if you don’t do it, there won’t be enough food, and we’ll all eat less.
So much congressional representation and federal financing is at stake.

People concerned with ICE can use the self-report period, ignore all door knocks!
