AAPI Action is a resource center for up-to-date information about the needs, concerns and successes of the Asian American, Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian communities. This interactive portal, www.appiaction.org, allows visitors to explore the issues confronting our communities and provides tools, tips and ways to address these issues.
AAPI Action’s first national campaign, Fill in Our Future, focuses on promoting our communities’ participation in the 2010 Census. The Constitution requires the Census Bureau to count every person, regardless of citizenship, living in the United States every 10 years for the purpose of congressional reapportionment. The next count is Census Day, April 1, 2010.
In 2009, the Asian American Justice Center, Asian American Federation, Asian American Institute, the Asian Pacific American Legal Center and the Asian Pacific Fund, came together to create a national network of community based organizations focused on pursuing a more fair and accurate census count of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the decennial census. Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Hawaiians, including recent immigrant and limited English proficient populations, are among those most likely to be undercounted. The campaign strives to decrease the chances of the communities being undercounted during the 2010 census through effective community outreach and education.
The NRFU phase, which stands for “Non-Response Follow-Up,” is the last in the Census process and represents the final push to collect Census information. The NRFU campaign encourages households who have not returned their Census form to welcome and cooperate with the Census taker that may knock on their door. Messaging for the NRFU campaign assures all that Census takers are sworn to secrecy and that they are there to help.
