Civic Leadership Forum – Panel Discussion : The Important of Counting Children

This forum was organized by CLUSA, Ding Ding TV, and India Current, on Jan 23rd at Ding Ding TV studio. We believe this will be a great opportunity to let our residents know why and how the Census matters to every one of us. Meanwhile, a deeper understanding of how the importance of this once-a-decade census data will impact the state’s businesses, researchers, and communities on decision-making.

Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are increasing in demographic representation; it’s a critical issue that to have more than 22 million AAPIs participate in this Census if they want good social welfares, education for their communities.
