The NYC 2020 Census Multilingual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon - ONLINE - hosted by Sure We Can a recycling and community center in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC will be take place on Friday, June 26th, 2020 - ONLINE. The edit-a-thon will be hosted and led by Sure We Can as part of its' work getting people to fill out the 2020 United States Census.
Filling out the census helps local sustainability and environmental justice by supporting public transportation. Cities wanting to step in a green direction by financing or expanding public transportation are waiting on census data to increase the year-to-year funding fueling most cities’ transportation infrastructure. Census data is also used to inform funding for: Emergency Watershed Protection Program, Hazardous Waste Management State Program Support, the Wildlife Restoration Program, and water pollution control grants.
