			Only Two More Weeks Left to Complete the 2020 Census 
 
		        
		          | The 2020 Census is ending on September 30 and 
					it is critical that all New Yorkers are counted. New 
					York City stands to lose billions of dollars in 
					federal aid every single year for schools, 
					hospitals, health clinics, affordable housing, 
					transportation, and more, as well as our 
					representation in Congress and in Albany if we do 
					not achieve a complete count.
 This year, filling out the census is easier than ever. The census asks just 10 simple questions that can 
							be answered in just a few minutes online at my2020census.gov, 
							or by calling 844-330-2020. The census is 
							100% confidential, safe, and easy. 
							Take a few minutes to secure New York City’s future 
				  by visiting my2020census.gov.
