As an appointed member of the U.S. Secretary of Commerce's 2010 Census Advisory Committee and a member of the previous Decennial Census Advisory Committee, AAJC has been a major player in census policy and community outreach. AAJC, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, the National Congress of American Indians, and the National Association for the Advancement of Color People (NAACP) are partners in the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund’s national collaborative campaign to educate the nation about the importance of a fair and accurate census in 2010. To complement the national collaborative campaign, AAJC launched www.asianamericancensus.org in July 2009 to provide general census information, address why the census is important to Asian Americans and to highlight the efforts of community-based organizations across the nation
AAJC’s role in this census campaign is to coordinate an aggressive nationwide campaign that includes mainstream, ethnic and blogosphere media outreach, community education and social networking. AAJC is translating many of its main materials into about 25 languages, which will soon be available electronically and in hard copy form. Finally, AAJC is coordinating the local community partners not covered by the other four regional partners in this national campaign.
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.
