Q1: Why is the Census Important to People with Disabilities and Older Adults?
#DisabilityCounts2020
Marin CIL is happy to be hosting a census and voting Twitter chat (4-5:30 pm). Both the census and voting are important to our communities

A low census count means millions of Americans will not get any return on taxes they paid. Instead of going back to local communities to repair roads, fund Special Ed or health care, federal funds will be redirected to communities with higher response rates #DisabilityCounts2020
In #California, over 60% of district funding comes from property taxes. Low-income areas have fewer resources for #disabled students from the start. Federal funding for #SpecialEducation—determined by the #census—helps close the gap. #DisabilityCounts2020 https://t.co/sIqz6dKKqs
Census data determines how #SpecialEd $'s are allocated. In FY 2015, #California received $1.2 billion in #SpecialEducation grants via IDEA. BOTTOM LINE? If you aren't counted in the #Census, #disabled kids will miss out #DisabilityCounts2020 https://t.co/sIqz6dKKqs
In 2018-19, 14% of *all* #PublicSchool students used #SpecialEducation services. Census data determines #SpecialEd funding on state & local levels. If you aren't counted by the #census, #disabled students won't get supports they need. #DisabilityCounts2020 https://t.co/sIqz6dKKqs
2020 Census data collection must continue through October 31, 2020.
Get counted today! #DisabilityCounts2020

The @uscensusbureau has identified people with disabilities as “hard-to-count,” which means we’re at risk of being undercounted in the #2020Census. We cannot let that happen. Visit the @uscensusbureau website and BE COUNTED today. #DisabilityCounts2020 https://t.co/zcaYaz0LpI
There’s power in numbers and we need all the strength we can get behind the #2020Census. Our voices are stronger together and when folks are counted, our demands for real change will be heard. #DisabilityCounts2020
Disability is represented in every community and now is the time for all of us to BE COUNTED in the #2020Census. #DisabilityCounts2020

Census data helps identify where resources need to be directed, and which populations are relying on them in the wake of public health emergencies like COVID-19. The end of this month is the deadline for submitting Census forms, make sure you are counted! #DisabilityCounts2020
People with disabilities count. Period. Complete the #2020Census – it’s important. The census is directly tied to key funding streams that support people with disabilities to live in the community. Be Counted! Every. Single. Person. Counts. #DisabilityCounts2020
CENSUS 2020 UPDATE! The preliminary injunction issued Thursday Sept 24 by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in the Northern District of California requires the Census Bureau to keep trying to tally the country's residents through Oct. 31. https://t.co/RJLfj2EHWp #DisabilityCounts2020
There’s now less than 1 week to complete the #2020Census. As a representative of the disability community, I know how important a complete count is by how it impacts access to healthcare, infrastructure, & education — among so many other parts of our lives
#DisabilityCounts2020
"Judge Lucy Koh, who sits in California, said she'll rule Wednesday or Thursday about whether the 2020 census ends on Sept 30 or whether counting can continue through October. 46 states have not yet met reporting requirements." https://t.co/79yxNvHfkT #DisabilityCounts2020
Did you know you can still fill out the #2020Census? It’s not too late. Make sure you're counted! The census decides funding for the next 10 yrs for the things that people with disabilities need, like housing & health care. #DisabilityCounts2020 https://t.co/dc7yq0QmeL
Officials outside of the @uscensusbureau made the decision to shorten the 2020 census response period, a move likely to decrease the accuracy of the survey, according to a Commerce Dept report released Sept 18.
Make sure *you're* counted while you can.
