Strategy: ResearchOverarching Themes from SJV Census Research
Widespread perception that the CQ is divisive, racist and bad social policy especially among 2nd generation Latinos
Profound suspicion of intent behind the citizenship question
Distrust in federal government leads to distrust in Census Bureau’s assurances about confidentialityespecially among Latinos
Strongly held belief that personal information belongs to individuals and their families

Strategy: ResearchMultiple Immigrant Family Units Live Under the
Same Roof or at the Same Address
1 out of 5 Latino hidden households (HH) are complex or compounds.
1 out of 3 non-Latino HH’s are complex or compounds.
“Extra” people in these HHs will likely not to be included in Census Bureau HH roster or counted.
28% of immigrant households lack standard mail delivery

Strategy: Advocacy
Amicus Briefs
• National Immigration Law Center
• 20+ SJV Partners as Co-Amici
• US District Court (CA State AG’s case)
• US Supreme Court (NY case appeal)
Cohort of 10 SJVHF Advocacy Partners
• 1 year/$15,000 grants• Jan. 1, 2019 start date• Non-lobbying• 10 Census advocacy
partners:• California Rural Legal Assistance
• Dolores Huerta Foundation
• Central Valley Immigrant Integration Collaborative
• Faith in the Valley• Jakara Movement • Leadership Counsel• Madera Coalition• Radio Bilingue• Southeast Asia Resource Action Center
• West Fresno Rural Collaborative
Advocacy Successes to Date
• Elevated community based address canvassing model
• Census Bureau (CB) SJV tour re: hidden housing
• CB has now approved “community navigator”
• Advocacy chart widely shared & discussed
![Page 18: San Joaquin Valley Health Fund Census Cluster Project Update...households (HH) are complex or compounds. 1 out of 3 non-Latino HH’s are complex or compounds. “Extra” people in](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070217/611fe4041145a106a826f434/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Strategy: AdvocacyOngoing Advocacy
Need to assure nearby user-friendly questionnaire assistance centers (QACs)
Support for “left out” languages: Hmong, Khmer, Punjabi, Mixtec, Triqui, Zapotec
More bilingual Spanish-language mailing Encourage Census Bureau hiring of non-citizens
through waivers
Census Bureau identification of tracts where hidden housing units are most prevalent and add them to Census Bureau address list (by August 2019).
Identify areas where standard mail delivery is uneven and expanded update-leave is crucial
Get Spanish-English bilingual forms to non-English HHs in census tracts with <20% Spanish-speaking HHs.

Strategy: OutreachLend a Helping Hand
1 out of 4 SJV households: no mailed census materials, no enumerator contact, language and literacy barriers
Neighborhood Questionnaire Assistance Centers (QACs)
“Reaching out” not simply persuading, but also on helping them respond
Need to mobilize key players in immigrant networks as trusted partners/community navigators: youth, middle-aged neighbors
Not just door-to-door canvassing and phone banking (Driver strategy)—also conversations in workplaces, sports events, schools, community celebrations, corner stores, day care centers, consulado movilevents, through ethnic media (Connector and Info Blaster strategies)
![Page 20: San Joaquin Valley Health Fund Census Cluster Project Update...households (HH) are complex or compounds. 1 out of 3 non-Latino HH’s are complex or compounds. “Extra” people in](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070217/611fe4041145a106a826f434/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Strategy: OutreachMessaging and Messengers Must Fit the Audience
No single message/pitch will work: different reasons for NOT responding
“Trusted voices” are crucial, but listening skills are just as important(guide not script)
What works for various groups:
2nd generation: “To resist, we must exist!” (LCF/Color of Change)
For middle-aged settled immigrants, “We pay taxes, have a right to be counted!” to get our fair share
For some: make this a people’s census; stand up to be counted
Region 4 & 6 slogan: Cuenta Conmigo! Count on Me! Count with Me!
360o “surround sound” messaging: trusted voices from multiple quadrants across HTC households’ social networks including youth
