In the lead up to Census Day on April 1, the Public Theater will launch a free, week-long touring program of music, poetry, and discussion that will focus on the importance of the national initiative. Titled Civic Salon: To Be Counted, which is part of the Public Forum program, will run March 31–April 5 and will visit communities in all five boroughs.

The events will feature music by Martha Redbone, poetry by NSangou Njikam, food, conversation, storytelling, and a keynote speech from a local changemaker from each borough. A representative from the NYC Census Bureau and Census workers will be on hand at each stop to provide resources and assistance in completing the Census during the event.

In mid-March, homes across the country will begin receiving invitations to complete the 2020 Census. For more information visit 2020census.gov.
