The CENSUS 2020 is here and The Puerto Rican Cultural Center is partnering with five community organizations to GET OUT THE COUNT in Humboldt Park. Our partners include: The Center for Changing Lives, Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation, Chicago Commons, Centro Sin Fronteras, and The Pedro Albizu Campos High School. Together we are launching a campaign to encourage all residents in Humboldt Park to fill out the Census form at: my2020census.gov. Our goal is to reach Hard To Count (HTCs) populations in Humboldt Park and help them to be counted. Those HTCs we have identified include; immigrants, children under the age of five, racial minorities, and LGBTQ populations. Because of the coronavirus/COVID 19 crisis, we are concentrating our efforts online. The PRCC website https://prcc-chgo.org/ has a page CENSUS 2020 page that has information, news, social media posts, PSAs, where to get help, and FAQ information. See our new CENSUS 2020 Tú Cuentas! Humboldt Park logo.

El CENSO 2020 ha llegado y El Centro Cultural Puertorriqueño (PRCC) está colaborando con cinco organizaciones en Humboldt Park para que nuestra comunidad sea contada en el censo. Los colaboradores incluyen a Bickerdike Redevelopment, Centro Sin Fronteras, Center for Changing Lives, Chicago Commons, y la Escuela Superior Pedro Albizu Campos. Juntos presentamos la campaña “Tú Cuentas” Humboldt Park. El propósito es promover y ayudar a las poblaciones que son consideradas “Difícil Para Contar” (Hard to Count -HTC en sus siglas en inglés). Estas poblaciones consisten de inmigrantes, niños menores de cinco años de edad, minorías raciales, y la población LGBTQ. Por la crisis del nuevo coronavirus (2019-nCoV), estamos concentrando nuestros esfuerzos a través de internet y plataformas sociales en línea. La página web del Centro Cultural https://prcc-chgo.org/ tiene una página del CENSO 2020 donde hay información y datos sobre el proceso y las preguntas frecuentes sobre el Censo. Adicionalmente tendremos acceso a lugares donde pueden conseguir ayuda. Vea nuestro nuevo logo Censo 2020 ¡Tú Cuentas! Humboldt Park.
