Here’s another interesting collabo for the 2010 Census. Kaya:Filipino Americans for Progress in partnership with the Center for Asian American Media, Hyphen Magazine, Hope Road Consulting, Blacklava, and Jason Carpio (channelAPA‘s graphic designer) got together to get the word out about the census.

During the 2000 Census, the Asian Pacific Islander population lost $2.1 billion in federal funding for important community programs in California alone just from being undercounted. Some of your friends or family members may be afraid that their census answers will complicate or reveal their immigration status or somehow compromise their employment status. THE FACT IS census answers cannot be used against you or your family members in ANY way. Your confidentiality is protected by LAW. Census data is important because it is used to plan for vital services such as employment training centers, schools, hospitals, senior programs, and many more services in your community.

Tell your friends and family that being counted is important for your future and for your community.It only happens once in 10 years. Speak up and BE COUNTED in the 2010 Census.

Do You Count?

Last month, we wrote that Giant Robot needs your help. They are already over 50% of their goal of $60,000. Now, they’ve got actor Daniel Wu supporting them. Apparently, Daniel Wu is a major Giant Robot fan since issue #1. He whips out issue after issue of his favorite Giant Robot covers.
