Census Friends

Sign-up here to join our census friends and family campaign. A representative from NYC Census 2020 will follow-up with you to provide further guidance and support.

During this time, many of us are checking in with friends and family more frequently. As we make sure our friends and family members are safe and healthy, we can help secure the health of New York City by reminding them to fill out the 2020 Census to help ensure our city’s recovery from this crisis.

Talking Points

You can use these basic talking points when reminding your friends and family to fill out the census.

• The more of us who fill out the census, the more money our neighborhoods will get from the government for hospitals, healthcare, schools, and housing over the next 10 years. NYC needs federal funding now more than ever!


• There are no questions about immigration, citizenship or financial information and your responses are 100% confidential.


• Filling out the census is easy and you can do it quickly and safely from home. It’s just 10 questions, and takes less than 10 minutes to fill out online at my2020census.gov or over the phone at 844-330-2020. You don’t even need a code to fill it out-- you can simply enter your address.


• The census is for everybody: every neighborhood, every race, every nationality, every religion. Whether you are a citizen or non-citizen, on the lease or off the lease, if you live in New York City-- you should fill out the census.
