2010 Census Outreach to Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders

Mon, 01/04/2010 - 09:10

Happy New Year! It's 2010, and no matter how you say it -- "two thousand and ten" or "twenty-ten" -- the new year brings one very important matter -- THE 2010 CENSUS!!!

Over the holidays, I noticed a good number of press releases and news items about efforts by AAPI community organizations to encourage, but I'm thinking that most of us were in the holiday mood, and could use a reminder of what's happening!

See video

Sam Yoon speaks to volunteers at the Election Night Watch Party on 9/22. At the expense of video quality, yes that's me screaming behind the phone. Sorry, it was the energy in the room at the moment... After so working so hard for so long for a dream, you had to be part of it! Hope this still works for you.
