Get your questions answered, pick up a questionnaire if you didn't get one and participate in the 2010 Census Rally on Saturday, April 10th, at the Korean Bethany Church, 4850 North St. Louis Avenue, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., Saturday, April 10th.
Have you filled out the ten questions on your 2010 Census Form and sent it in yet? Your answers are protected by law. Have you heard that that Chicago lags behind all other cities in meeting this requirement? To the extent that we do not respond, we stand to lose millions of dollars in federal, state, local, and tribal funds.
WILL THE LANGUAGE(S) I SPEAK BE COUNTED?
When you filled out the short form, you may have noticed that there was no question that asks what language or languages you speak. How will we know if Chicago is still a MULTILINGUAL CITY?
The answer is that one out of every 40 persons in the United States will be given a longer questionnaire after completing the short form. This longer census form will include a question about the language or languages spoken in your household. Be sure yours gets counted!
