Be Counted

The Trump Administration attempted to shorten the census by 30 days, meaning that our communities, particularly those most at risk of being undercounted, run the risk of losing out on the representation and funding they deserve. A court order has extended the census to October 31, but an appeal could result in the census ending sooner. It is critical that New Yorkers complete their census as soon as possible to avoid an incomplete count. See our Frequently Asked Questions: Census Takers webpage for more details.

We need your help to spread the word. Please share the below posts to your social media channels to keep New Yorkers informed that they must fill out the census as soon as possible or our city will lose out on billions of dollars in federal funding for health care, schools, roads, hospitals, and more. An undercount could also mean New York will lose two seats in Congress. Too much is at stake for us to be undercounted.
