We Count! Participate in Census 2020.

Every 10 years the constitution of the United States of America requires that every single person living in this country be counted, everyone. As a cultural community we can play a special role to make sure that the communities that we care about are counted in the 2020 census.

CreateNYC: A Cultural Plan for New York City

As a partner on the Hester Street team to develop CreateNYC, New York City’s comprehensive cultural plan, NOCD-NY drew on our network of networks to help organize the robust community engagement that resulted in 188,000 people from all five boroughs participating in the planning processes. We hosted many neighborhood workshops and organized eight focus groups on important topics in the field.
