In response to the federal government cutting the crucial door-knocking efforts for the 2020 Census by an entire month, on Wednesday, September 2, the Caribbean Equality Project in partnership with Sadhana: Coalition of Progressive Hindus, co-hosted a virtual Caribbean-focused Census event titled "Census an' Chill." The historic event incorporated Caribbean culture and civic engagement through Census education, speakers, and cultural performances, including messages from the New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams, NYS Senator Roxanne J. Persaud, NYC Council Member Adrienne E. Adams, NYC Council Member Vanessa L. Gibson, NYS Assembly Districts 31 Democratic Nominee Khaleel Anderson, District Leader for the NYS Assembly District 31 Richard David, and the U.S. Census Bureau Caribbean Partnership Specialist, Shelley V. Worrell.

Census an' Chill created a virtual educational opportunity to encourage the hard to count Indo-Caribbean and Afro-Caribbean immigrant communities throughout New York City to participate in the 2020 Census. The three-hour event galvanized city-wide Caribbean elected officials and local community leaders to mobilize their constituents to continue being civically engaged during a pandemic by completing their Census. The event featured Census educational infographics, music, and cultural and drag performances by Nhojj, Pratima Doobay, Jahlove Serrano, Sundari, The Indian Goddess, Detoxx Bústi-ae, and Rajeev Singh—all Black and Brown LGBTQ+ Caribbean immigrants. 

Census an' Chill concluded with a virtual dance party by Lady Drea, a Black Brooklyn-based international DJ. This event was co-hosted by Kadeem Robinson, CEP's Policy Advocate, and Aminta Kilawan-Narine, co-founder of Sadhana: Coalition of Progressive Hindus.
