Have you filled out your census form yet? The Mayor's office says you haven't! They tweeted earlier today, "So far, NYC #Census participation is 6% while nation's is 16%. Bklyn=6% LES=1-2% Parts of Flushing=1-2% Come on, #NYC, we can do better!," and followed up with "Parts of Jamaica=1-2% Bronx=2% Parts of Ocean Hill in Bklyn=no forms returned!" They then reposted everything in Spanish, just to be safe. Of course, for this announcement to really make a difference, the Mayor needs to rack up some more twitter followers—he's only got 2,976 so far! :(
