“The census is a count of everyone in the United States regardless of your immigration status,” Ocasio-Cortez says in the ad, where she is explaining the census to a group of students, including Miranda.

The U.S. Census Bureau has spent millions in advertising to mitigate fears within immigrant communities about participating in the census after the Trump administration proposed including a citizenship question in this year's survey.

A January report from the bureau found fears over a Trump administration-supported citizenship question could decrease the number of Latinos willing to participate.

Last month, Miranda was tapped to join a census council created by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). Cuomo also announced an additional $10 million in this year’s budget to go toward the fair census count plan, bringing the state’s total for the 2020 Census to $70 million.
