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
There are many misconceptions about #2020Census.

Citizenship questions are NOT on the Census and your immigration status does NOT prevent you from responding. Your answers are confidential and protected by law.

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.

🚨 Really important points 🚨

The Supreme Court blocked the citizenship question.

It is illegal to access this data for 72 years. There are strict penalties and this has never been violated.

People concerned with ICE can use the self-report period, ignore all door knocks!
This also affects school zoning and where your election districts are.
