SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -
Caribbean nationals in the United States who are pushing to
be included as a separate category in that country's census
count are about to launch 'CaribID 2010', a campaign to urge
the government to allow them to be counted as the 17th group
on the census form in 2010.
Mental Slavery, Caribbean
Leaders & the Upcoming Diaspora Conference
A Caribbean event, with a huge focus on the
Caribbean Diaspora and its media that is being promoted by
an agency outside our community, despite the obvious
presence of talented Caribbean PR professionals within the
Diaspora!
It is an outrage, a disgrace and an embarrassment of
major proportions and every single Caribbean national in the
Caribbean Diaspora should be insulted.

prepare to meet Thursday

are realistic.
Census Campaign for Accurate
Caribbean Count to Kick off in New York
“Being visible in America begins and ends
with the U.S. Census,” proclaimed CaribID2010 chair Felicia
Persaud, in announcing a campaign with widespread support
among those of Caribbean descent living in the United States
for the Census Bureau to “ finally recognize our existence.
“If you don’t get counted you don’t exist in many important
ways.”
