Thank you to all of the local groups, elected officials, and community members who joined our ¡Tú Cuentas! Immigration March & Census Fair this weekend. While we marched from Maria Hernandez Park to Irving Square Park, we celebrated our immigrant communities and raised awareness about the importance of participating in the 2020 census. At the fair in Highland Park, we helped over 200 of our neighbors complete the census!

So many performers, artists, and local businesses brought this event to life, and we were so thrilled to be able to offer the many services provided by Mixteca, ACE, Luis Gomez Alfaro, NYC ID, Cypress Hills LDC, Community Board 4, and Community Board 5. We were so grateful for contributions from Grand Morelos, Lucero Produce, Payasito Cincelito Los Chinelos Comparsa Santa Ines La familia, Dansa Tolteca Chimeca, Mariachi Tapatio de Alvaro Paulino, and Mariachi Nuevo Amanecer.
