Last year, Team AOC launched a major, seven-figure effort to encourage
constituents from the Bronx and Queens to complete the census. With so
much at stake in the redistricting process, it was important for us that
every single person was counted.

Team AOC organizers engaged 3,800 residents from communities at risk of
being undercounted at nearly 1,800 events across the district. With more
than 200 languages spoken in the district, we directed funding for
multilingual mailers and ads to reach and educate New Yorkers on the
importance of filling out the census.

The U.S. Census Bureau recently published new counts showing Queens and
the Bronx were in the top 5 large counties to outperform their census
expectations. So, what does that mean?

 1. More federal funds for underserved communities: We helped bring an
estimated $53 million in new federal resources for our district.
 2. A Congressional seat was saved: New York only lost one House seat
after the city’s Census Bureau warned that two seats would be lost if
participation was low.

This is a big
win, and it was made
possible by this group of grassroots supporters. This
census organizing effort is exactly the kind of investment our campaign
uniquely prioritizes.

The census only happens once every ten years — but our fight to ensure
that underrepresented communities get the resources and representation
they need never stops. And our grassroots donors play a pivotal role in
funding these strategic investments. That’s why we’re asking for your
support today to continue this crucial work.
