VIDEOS: Ludacris hits NYC, DC, and ATL on his 2010 CENSUS 'Luda on the Block Tour'...

In the previous two webisodes from the Luda on the Block Tour, Ludacris hit up Dallas and New Orleans successfully creating awareness and getting people to send back their Census forms! In these next three webisodes Ludacris hits New York City, D.C., and his hometown, Atlanta!

Ludacris Explains How Census Saves NYers Time

“It’s understandable,” says Ludacris, “but the Census can be attributed to getting the resources to increase subway and bus frequency so that they can actually get a seat instead of packing in. Children and adults can enjoy neighborhood parks that are maintained and upgraded to accommodate their community. Schools, seniors and emergency services will improve as well. I let them know they must be counted to see these types of changes.”

Luda tells DC Community ‘Get Your Part of $400 Billion in Federal Funds’

“It’s clear that there are still people in certain neighborhoods who really don’t understand the importance of being counted and need the facts fast,” said Ludacris. “As the bedrock for change, with President Obama and family residing right there on Pennsylvania Avenue, the nation’s capital at the time of this taping had a low 52% response rate for the 2010 Census. I went to help change that.”

Ludacris brings his daughter along as he leads the Luda on the Block tour to his hometown of Atlanta.

Ludacris, who has continued his mission through Dallas, New Orleans, New York, DC and now his hometown of Atlanta, has a greater understanding of reasons why people have ignored a chance to get their community’s share of $400 billion dollars in federal funding but works hard to dispell any false information and deliver the facts straight!

Luda On The Block 2010 Census Tour Heads to NY, DC, ATL Next!

Lucadris swept through New Orleans to motivate African Americans to fill out and mail back their 2010 Census form. He hit WQUE radio station to talk to listeners who may not have responded to the Census yet. Ludacris gave shout outs from his van to surprised fans on his way to the New Orleans main post office. By the time he visited a home on Mirtha Street, word had spread about his visit and fans looked on as he knocked on doors and toured formerly Katrina ravaged areas that are now on the mend but still in need of revitalization. “I hope people in this neighborhood know that resources from the Census will go toward rebuilding New Orleans,” Luda tells his guide Gretchen Bradford, a homeowner on the block. “I am counting on you to spread the word to people in the community,” said Ludacris.

In the meantime, stay tuned to The Luda On The Block tour stop videos in Dallas, New Orleans, New York City, Washington DC, and Atlanta from March to April. Get an up close, personal view of what some naysayers and other resisters really think about the Census.

VIDEO: Ludacris Hits the Block in Dallas to Support 2010 Census...

Is that Ludacris knocking on your door?

The Luda On The Block tour stops in Dallas, New Orleans, New York City, Washington DC, and Atlanta. Ludacris stays true to his mission, even though skepticism is high among people in the black community about sharing information with the government. He walks a tight rope on several radio stations by cajoling, punking, educating, and shocking listeners. He literally knocks on doors to get the word out about how important completing the Census is to the black community. The folks he meets are ordinary people who often don’t know all the benefits of the 2010 Census. The tour is an ambitious undertaking that Ludacris felt strongly enough about to take time out from his music tour.
