NYS Census 2030 Launch - A Webinar Hosted by New York State Census Partnership

*This program is hosted by our partner, the New York State Census Partnership who has extended an invitation to PNY members.*

The road to Census 2030 starts now. Join New York State Census Partnership for a virtual convening that brings together experts, advocates, and partners from across New York to kick off the conversation, share key updates, and begin building the infrastructure absolutely critical for a complete and equitable count.

Whether you’re a veteran of census work or just getting started, this session will equip you with critical information, past efforts, where things stand, and how to get involved as we look toward 2030. It’s not too early—now is the time to begin laying the groundwork for a fair and accurate count. It’s going to take all of us, working together, to ensure every New Yorker is seen, counted, and represented.

What will you learn? 

• An overview of what the census is, and why it matters to all New Yorkers.

• Why community involvement in the Census matters
• A look at New York’s shifting demographics and what they tell us about who and where we need to reach
• A deep dive into the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) process—what it is, why it matters, and how to prepare now
