2010 Census Coalition Gains Momentum
The Iranian American 2010 Census Coalition includes both national and regional Iranian American organizations, including PARSA Community Foundation, that have united under the common objective of educating Iranian-Americans about the 2010 Census. Specific goals of this project include reaching every Iranian American household in the country to educate them about the importance of participating in the 2010 Census, to assure them that the information provided to the Census Bureau will by law be confidential, and to urge them to respond to questions relating to race, ethnicity, and national origin in a consistent manner. In order to assure maximum outreach, the Census Coalition has hired full-time consultants to both reach out to the Iranian American community and coordinate with the U.S. Census.
