Hagase Conar! – Census Taking Initiative

What is Ya Es Hora: To ensure a true count in the 2010 census, the ya es hora ¡HAGASE CONTAR! Campaign will mobilize elected officials and a grassroots network that includes community organizations, local unions, service centers, and others. Working together, they will reach people in their everyday lives with essential census information. The network will extend Census Bureau's promotional efforts by adding an independent and trusted community message focused on education, empowerment and protecting our future. What will be HRC’s Role: HRC has been involved with Hispanic outreach throughout the United States. HRC has worked with Ya Es Hora during the fall to sign up nearly 200 individuals for citizenship here in Chicago. HRC’s next endeavor will be to assist the Ya Es Hora team in the upcoming national Census.
