Senator Roxanne J. Persaud to host Virtual Town Hall Discussion on Immigrant Affairs and 2020 Census

(Brooklyn, NY) --  NYS Senator Roxanne J. Persaud (D - Canarsie, East New York, Brownsville, Mill Basin, Sheepshead Bay, Bergen Beach, Marine Park, Flatlands, Mill Island, Georgetown, Ocean Hill, and Starrett City) and Assembly Member Jaime R. Williams in partnership with NYC Census 2020, New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) and Mobilization for Justice, will host a Virtual Town Hall Discussion on Immigrant Affairs and the 2020 Census, on Monday, June 1, 2020 from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM on Facebook Live.

I am honored to partner with Assembly Member Williams, NYC Census 2020, NYLAG and Mobilization for Justice to host this online event to answer questions and clarify concerns regarding immigration issues,” said Senator Persaud, Chair of the NYS Senate Social Services Committee. “Additionally, we will discuss the reservations and concerns some New Yorkers may continue to have regarding participation in the 2020 Census. During these unprecedented times, it is more important than ever that everyone in Senate District 19 is counted to ensure that proper funding and resources will reach our community. Unfortunately, it has taken the coronavirus pandemic to bring to light how a lack of funding can adversely affect New Yorkers’ access to healthcare, public schools, infrastructure projects, and cause a loss of Congressional representation.”  

Constituents are encouraged to submit questions online at persaud.nysenate.gov. Questions will be accepted until 4:00 PM on Monday, June 1st.
