An accurate count of our community in the census is a must, if government services are to be provided to our people and decision-makers are to understand the community's importance.
An appointed member of the
U.S. Secretary of Commerce's 2010 Census Advisory Committee, AAJC is a major player when it comes to census policy and community outreach. Known for our acclaimed "
Census 2000" campaign, we pursue a fair and accurate census count of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the decennial census and
American Community Survey (ACS).
Our work has led to increasing census research on improving outreach to Asian Americans, particularly those who are limited English proficient - the people who stand to lose the most if they are not accurately represented.
AAJC and its partners launched the
Fill in Our Future campaign, which includes a Web site,
www.fillinourfuture.org, that provides information in
25 languages, public service announcements, videos, brochures and educational materials to help with community outreach.
