• Census participation is an important civil rights issue. Much like staying home from the polls on Election Day, failing to complete the Census severely restricts the growth and progress of our AAPI neighborhoods and communities.
•  Census participation determines how federal funding for communities is allocated. Each year, over $400 billion dollars in federal funding is appropriated based, in part, on demographic information obtained from the census.
• Census results determine how you are represented in Congress. Results are used to calculate how many representatives from a state will serve in the U.S. House of Representatives.
• Census participation is required by law.

There are many ways to get involved:

• Educate yourself about the census and why it is important.
• Pledge to fill out your census form!
• Spread the word - tell your friends to pledge to fill in our future!
• Follow our updates on twitter and facebook.
• Start your own campaign!
