CHCI Interns to Educate Citizens on 2010 Census
Community Service
Project Aims to Ensure All Latinos are Counted in 2010
Washington, D.C. – With the importance of the 2010 Census looming, the 24 members of CHCI’s 2009 Congressional Interns
hip Program are conducting a community service project to inform and educate members of the Latino Community on the significance of being counted in 2010. The event, themed “Celebrate: Tu Cuentas,” will take place on Sunday, July 26, 2009 at the Bell Multi-Cultural High School Field from 1-5 p.m. Food and entertainment will be provided.
An accurate count in the 2010 Census is critical for the Latino community to ensure government adequately funds schools, roads, infrastructure, and other initiatives according to the community’s population and needs.
“This project will focus on the importance and urgency of the 2010 Census,” said Cristobal Salinas, Jr. a CHCI intern. “We are especially enthusiastic about educating the Latino community.”
