The Asian Pacific American Legal Center of Southern California (APALC) is the nation's largest legal organization serving the Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities. Founded in 1983, APALC is a unique organization that combines traditional legal services with civil rights advocacy and leadership development. The mission of APALC is to advocate for civil rights, provide legal services and education and build coalitions to positively influence and impact Asian Pacific Americans and to create a more equitable and harmonious society.
APALC is the lead agency coordinating the California Asian and Pacific Islander 2010 Census Network, a statewide network of organizations engaged in outreach, education, in-language materials production, training, advocacy, and media activities across seven regions throughout California. Each of the seven regions are working with ethnic community based organizations, local governments, Complete Count Committees, and local Census Bureau staff, to ensure that hard-to-count Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders participate in Census 2010. The network will employ strategies using direct outreach, education through ethnic media outlets, trainings for community members to become effective Census messengers within their communities, and community production of materials to educate community members of the impact that participating in the Census can have on their communities.
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.
