The census is a complex operation to collect important demographic, social, and economic information and serves as the country\u2019s best source for reliable nationwide and community-level data.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>A complete and accurate Census count has a wide-ranging and long term impact for New York State<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Policymakers use census data to identify community needs and distribute federal funding to states and localities based on community characteristics measured by the census.

Additionally, the Census Bureau was dramatically underfunded and struggled to hire sufficient staff to reach more remote and traditionally undercounted communities. State funding for outreach was nonexistent and in New York where more than 200 languages are spoken, the Census had severely limited language access for non-English speakers. As a result, New York\u2019s congressional delegation shrunk by one House seat, part of a long term trend in which New York\u2019s congressional delegation has gotten smaller each cycle, falling just 89 residents short of retaining it.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>As we prepare for 2030<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Common Cause New York joins a coalition of civic organizations calling on our elected officials in New York to:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demand adequate funding for census outreach;<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure language support is provided by the Census Bureau to our communities;<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build public awareness about the importance of the census to increase the response rate;<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborate with trusted organizations to create connections to New York\u2019s diverse communities for census awareness;<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure participation by counties, cities, and towns in the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) program.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Yorkers deserve to have their voices heard and to know that their vote counts in selecting the people and policies that will determine the future of their communities.<\/span>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_take_action","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_take_action":{"heading":"","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"action":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_banner","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_banner":{"use_donate_banner":true,"title":"Title [highlight]with highlighting[\/highlight] and additional text.","button":null,"image":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_resources","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_resources":{"heading":"Related Resources","button_text":"See all Related Resources","manually_curate":false,"resource":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_press","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_press":{"heading":"","button_text":"","manually_curate":false,"press":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_events","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_events":{"heading":"Events"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_our_experts","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_our_experts":{"heading":"","manually_curate":false,"people":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
