The Iranians Count 2010 Census Coalition Launches Iranianscount.org
March 1, 2010 - The Iranians Count 2010 Census Coalition
(“ICCC”) is continuing its proactive role to ensure
that statistics for the Iranian-American community are accurately
reflected in the upcoming 2010 United States Census
(“Census”). Currently comprised of 30
organizations spread throughout the United States, ICCC today launched
its official website, Iranianscount.org, as an informational resource
for the community. ICCC has also produced two Public Service
Announcements (“PSA”) to help raise awareness about
the importance of participating in the Census and how to accurately
fill out Census forms to assure that Iranians/Iranian-Americans can be
counted for.
Furthermore, through the utilization of viral networking and
micro-blogging websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, ICCC
is expanding the reach of its message nationally.
These efforts are extremely important since the Census provides the
Iranian community in the United States the opportunity to stand up and
be counted.
Census results are used as a benchmark for businesses, professional
organizations, and government officials in determining how social
services are allocated, the influence of a minority community, and
funding for critical community programs. Yet, the number of Iranians
residing in the United States has been historically significantly
undercounted by at least two or three times the actual figure.
By uniting and mobilizing for the 2010 Census, the Iranian-American
community will achieve greater prominence while also gaining a better
understanding of its unique needs.
The Iranians Count 2010 Census Coalition includes national and regional
Iranian American organizations. Please visit
www.IraniansCount.org/Partners.html for an up-to-date listing of the
participating organizations and for information about joining.
