Making Sense of the Census
Julie Menin, Director of NYC
Census 2020 and Isha Sumner, Census
2020 Manager at Garifuna Community
With less than a month until
New Yorkers complete the census,
NYC Census 2020 is pulling out all
the stops.
On February 11th, we held more
than 60 civil rights-style teach-ins in
all five boroughs as part of “Teachin
Tuesday.” At the teach-ins, New
Yorkers learned about the history of
the census and how it helps distribute
billions of dollars for education,
healthcare, job training, infrastructure,
affordable housing and more.
Attendees were also asked to volunteer
to help the city’s Get Out The
Count campaign, beginning when
the Census Bureau’s self-response
website goes live in mid-March.
Every community has its own
unique interests that relate to the
census, and the teach-ins give us
the opportunity to connect and address
questions about everything
from privacy concerns to impacted
programs.
One of the community groups
that participated in the Teach-in
was Garifuna Community Services
(GSC), an organization that was
awarded funding through NYC Census’s
Complete Count Fund, a community
program that is focused on
census-related education and organizing.
The goal of the awards program
is to ensure full participation
in the 2020 Census by supporting a
large network of local communitybased
organizations considered
messengers of important and sensitive
information within New York
City’s diverse communities. To ensure
their community is counted,
GCS is participating in community
workshops, conducting a Census
Know Your Rights Forum before immigration
intake sessions, knocking
doors, and more. For communities
like the Garifuna, the census
also serves as an organizing tool for
self-determination and visibility for
their community. Garifuna community
members will check “Black”
for race and will write in their Garifuna
indigenous descent.
The stakes could not be higher.
In 2010, only 61.9% of New Yorkers
self-responded; the national average
was 76%. To ensure members of the
Garifuna community are counted
— as well as all New Yorkers — we
must do better, and we only get one
chance.
NYC, let’s make it count!
New Yorkers can begin filling out
the Census online on March 12, 2020
at my2020census.gov.
