Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Lin-Manuel Miranda star in new ad urging New Yorkers to participate in 2020 census to avoid another population undercount in the city.
The students featured in the ad are part of the CUNY Census Corps at the City University of New York. They have mobilized over 200 students who speak 44 languages to educate, engage and mobilize people in hard-to-count communities to complete the census.
The advertisement will run online and on local TV stations during"the critical self-response period of the census starting in mid-March," NYC Census 2020 said in a statement. “Both Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Lin-Manuel are homegrown stars whose voices and activism have inspired action in their communities," Julie Menin, director of NYC Census 2020, said in a statement.
"With two weeks until New Yorkers begin completing the census, this PSA will help get the word out to communities across New York, especially those in historically undercounted communities,” she stated.
