Anthony Martinez - Entry 3
As a CHCI intern, you will be conducting a community service project on the 2010 Census. Why is this issue important to you and how do you think it impacts the Latino community?
Upon completion of the 2010 Census, the new numbers of Hispanics accounted for is going to be very eye-opening for a number of parties. District boundary lines will need to be redrawn and of course more constituents will need more funding. Business leaders will need to take note when formulating their strategies to account for an increase in their Hispanic markets.
Our personal responsibility in this process is to ensure an accurate count of Hispanics during the conduction of the Census. So, we should be increasing awareness of the impending Census and proper compliance in our Hispanic communities in order to ensure fair representation.
