Westchester Releases Series Of PSAs About 2020 Census

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Census 2020 is coming, and Westchester County Executive George Latimer kicked off the County’s 2020 Census Campaign to make sure that every Westchester County resident is counted. He was joined by local municipalities who have their own Census Complete Count Committees, Census advocates, community-based organizations, college students and more at Pace University, to stress the importance of a full and complete count for the 2020 Census.

Included in the county’s efforts to promote the Census is a public awareness campaign in both English and in Spanish, which includes a series of public service announcements, that are focused on a different target audience. The third PSA focuses on people with Disabilities.

Watch the third video, “The Census and our Disabled Community.”

The PSA features Janet Lokay, who is an assistant to the county executive. As an advocate for people with disabilities, she stressed the importance of funding for critical programs and services, such as ParaTransit. Westchester County has a disabled population of more than 88,000 people, and those disabilities can range from hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory, self-care or independent living disabilities.
