A new proposal from the U.S. Census Bureau would change the definition of disability in the American Community Survey – having significant implications for disabled people. Marissa Ditkowsky (she/her) breaks down the proposal in our new blog 👉 (npwf.info/47KJH0I)

CALL TO ACTION! 🚨 The US Census is looking to make a change in how it collects disability data in the American Community Survey that will negatively impact people with disabilities. It will reduce the count of people with disabilities from 14% to 8%, meaning about 20 million

🚨This is not just a disability issue - it impacts every American. If you care about ensuring U.S. Census Bureau data accurately represents America, this issue impacts you. If you care about how fed funding is allocated, or the enforcement of laws, this issue impacts you..

A controversial Census Bureau proposal could shrink the rate of disability in the U.S. by about 40%. Public comments on this potential change are due Tuesday, Dec. 19, but NPR has confirmed there will be another opportunity to give feedback in the spring… npr.org/2023/12/18/121…

A very unhappy 7th anniversary to this lawsuit against MTA which is still ongoing. It's not enough to build elevators, they have to be maintained and available. When they're not, people should get timely information and reasonable travel alternatives. nytimes.com/2017/04/25/nyr…
