PACCAL CAMPAIGNS TO MAIL BACK CENSUS FORMS
Posted by admin on June 8th, 2010
Pan American Concerned Citizens Action League, Inc. (PACCAL) through a grant from the Asian American Federation has launched a massive campaign for Filipinos to mail back their Census 2010 Survey forms. PACCAL outreach workers and volunteers wearing uniform Census 2010 T-Shirts and equipped with Census flyers, posters and giveaways are pounding Jersey City streets to increase the return of the Census survey forms by Filipinos in Jersey City.
In the last Census ten years ago, the Filipinos in Jersey City were so undercounted. One proof was that the Greenville section showed more Filipinos residing there when Westside Avenue actually has triple the Filipino population in Jersey City. Last April 10, during the March to the Mailbox campaign, PACCAL members, volunteers and a group of youth marched on the streets of Montgomery St. and on Westside Avenue going door to door in the heavily populated Filipino areas. On March 27th, PACCAL already had a blitz on Newark Avenue’s Filipino business district.
