Sharing Information

Sharing information can be as simple as talking about Census 2010 to your family and friends.  For the purposes of the ACCC mini-grant, grant recipients must distribute 250 “units” of information.  Here’s what we mean:

• you could choose to develop a leaflet, flyer, or fact sheet, most preferably in the language of your country of origin, print it out and share it at events, meetings, at church/ temple, or anywhere else you find your community.
  • The Laotian community distributed Laotian-language flyers about Census during the 2009 Annual Dragon Boat Race in Atlanta
  • OCA-GA distributed Census flyers at a monthly networking event of another non-profit organization, the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP)
• you could choose to create Census “promotional” materials and distribute those at places where you find your community
  • OCA-GA recently distributed calendars, hats and other materials that promoted the Census at their annual Career Fair
• you could choose to write a press release, news article, conduct a radio or television interview, or other media contact that will reach your community members
  • CPACS promoted Census 2010 during its 5th Annual Together Empowering Asian Americans (TEA) Walk.  We issued press statements, got online and print newspapers to cover us and census, and had television and radio interviews.  We reached over a million readers and viewers.
• you could choose to create a video, script for a play, sermon to reach your community members
  • Through the outreach of the Vietnamese Complete Count Committee, several Vietnamese pastors in Georgia have “preached”  Census in the pulpits
  • The ACCC as well as the Laotian Complete Count Committee have developed several videos about Census that they show at meetings, events, and online
  • The Korean Complete Count Committee raised awareness of Census 2010 through television coverage by the Korean Television Network
