One Brooklyn
“We already strongly suspect that urban populations like Brooklyn have been chronically undercounted, and President Trump’s call for a citizenship question in the 2020 US Census will further undercut the accuracy of this critical count by discouraging the participation of immigrant Americans. This decennial process is hard enough without putting additional barriers in place. I thank Attorney General Schneiderman for bringing a lawsuit against this misguided policy on behalf of all New Yorkers. In the months ahead, my administration will work in partnership with community-based groups throughout our borough to make certain that all of our residents are accurately reflected in the census. It’s time for Brooklyn to ensure we receive the representation and resources that we are entitled to and deserve.”
