Census 2010


It is Census YEAR, time to be counted!

The US Census is important not only on a political platform of counting legislative representation, and district proportioning, but it is what drives each state to earn large portion of its funding for public works, security, education, transportation, health care, and ensure a better life for the individuals of that state.

There are many issues at stake this year!

BE COUNTED!

Any questions, please contact,Marcony Almeida, Director of Organizing, at malmeida@miracoalition.org, or Filipe Zamborlini, Field Organizer, at fzamborlini@miracoalition.org.

Civic participation is our duty.

It's Safe!

The information you disclose to the Census will not be used for any purposes other than those already assigned to the Census; to count the people in order to distribute funds for education, roads, health, public services, and several other services the state offers its people!

Every individual working for the Census and who will see the information you provide in the Census Form is sworn in to a lifetime oath under Title 13 of the U.S. Code. This means no individual or body has access to the more specific information you send the Census Bureau, such as your address, and full name!

Your information is KEPT SECURE AND PRIVATE!

And remember this:

By law, the Census Bureau cannot share your answers with anyone, including the Internal Revenue Service, Immigration
and Customs Enforcement, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency or any other government agency. All Census Bureau employees take the oath of nondisclosure and are sworn for life to protect the confidentiality of the data. The penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both.

Census Takers

MIRA Coalition would like to thank all of those who have mailed back their census forms. It only costs $0.44 to have someone mail back their forms and it saves the state and federal government money for the distribution of funds!

However, not all people have yet been counted since not everyone has mailed back their forms. Those who have not sent a form back will have a Census Taker come to their home several times in order to attain the count of the household so that we can have a full and accurate count. Please be aware that it is very safe to open the door to these workers. They are properly trained and under life time oath tho never disclose your information to anyone!

REMEMBER THE CENSUS IS SAFE AND IT HELPS YOUR COMMUNITY!

Get Counted!

Remember, add to your calendar, save the date, tell your friends - APRIL  FIRST 2010 IS CENSUS DAY!
 
It is important that on that day all forms be mailed (postage is paid already by Census Bureau). On the forms make sure EVERYONE living on the home on April 1st is included to be counted!
 
Babies count!
Temporary Residents count!
The Elderly count!
Everyone Counts!
 
Remember to fill in with all information, and that ll is secure. If you need assistance filling in the forms, assistance centers will be open across the nation in hard to count neighborhoods, as well as Be Counted Centers where those who feel they were not counted on the form sent home can get a separate form for themselves to make sure they were counted!
