It’s Common Cens(us)

2010 marks the return of the U.S. Census. What is the Census you ask? Why should I care? How does it affect me and my family? These are valid questions that many Americans are asking. Well non-profit organization, 99Problems.org is answering all those questions for you and spreading the critical message about the Census…but in a cool way so you understand exactly what this means for communities nationwide.

Using the theme “Numbers Don’t Lie” as a backdrop, 99Problems.org is bringing familiarity to hip-hop lovers and minority communities. It’s also going about effectively explaining why an accurate count of the U.S. population is essential in determining the location of hospitals and fire stations in your community, along with schools, safe construction, and most important, the numbers of seats your state occupies in the House of Representatives. As 99Problems.org states, “Filling out the Census form is a free and easy way to fight for the resources and respect our community deserves. It’s up to each of us to make sure our community counts. Be smart. Take the Pledge!”

Filling out the Census form takes a mere 10 minutes to do, but will affect the livelihoods of not just yourself, but every other American, despite cultural, racial or political background.
