“Today’s launch of the 2020 Census online expands accessibility and accountability to every person, household, and community who need to complete the 2020 Census to ensure that New York City is accurately counted. For decades, we have been undercounted and underfunded – a disastrous cycle that has deprived our communities of much-needed resources such as new schools, healthcare institutions, infrastructure, and equal representation in every branch of government. Now more than ever, we need every New Yorker – documented or not – to complete the form to ensure that we send a clear message against xenophobia that we count, we are here to stay, and our voices will be heard,” said Council Member Farah N. Louis.
