NYCounts2020: Census Outreach During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Census in a time of COVID-19

With COVID-19 reaching pandemic-status, New York State has banned all non-essential gatherings of any kind. This means that many of our field plans to get out the count need to be rethought. We recognize this is a scary and frustrating time for census advocates. But by finding ways to engage, and by continuing to fight for New York’s fair share of resources and representation, we can come through this more resilient and hopeful for a better future.
