La Alianza Hispana joins "¡Ya es Hora! Hágase Contar", a non-partisan Latino civic participation campaign launched as the Latino community's action-oriented follow-up to the immigrant mobilizations of 2006. Dozens of organizations have joined the campaign locally including, La Alianza Hispana, Mi familia Vota, Agencia Alpha, ABCD, IBA, Boston Complete Count Committee, Centro Latino de Chelsea, Centro Presente, Chlesea Collaborative, Gaston Institute, Consulado de El Salvador , Cleghorn Community Center, Dominican Development Center, Gaston Institute, MIRA, ¿Oiste? SEIU 615 and many others

At La Alianza Hispana, we believe in the importance of filling out the census form and mailing it back and what we stand to lose as community if we are not counted. Together with Ya es Hora, Hágase Contar, we are launching La Feria del Censo, a cultural evening to raise awareness about the census to be held Saturday March 13,2010, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Tobin Community Center, located at 1481 Tremont St Roxbury Crossing, MA 02120 (Roxbury Crossing Orange Line Station). The line up includes: Spanish Rock with El Frente, Nova Trova with Marina Rodríguez, R& B with Cynthia de Jesus, Merengue with Pa' la Calle con Ariel, Salsa with El Bebé de la Salsa, Livio Arias and his trova Venezolana, spoken word with Josiane Martinez and many others. We will have surprises for the children and the presence of all partner organizations.

Join us for a cultural and informational afternoon about the Census.
