Dear Friend, Did you know that the 2020 United States Census opened for responses exactly one week ago? Take a moment of your downtime to complete the quick Census survey! A fair and accurate Census is so important for people with disabilities—and really for everybody! Did you know the Census decides how much the government gives to health care, special education, and support services like SNAP? Did you know the Census decides how much funding is set aside for our schools, roads, and public transportation? That's billions of dollars in impact over the next 10 years! Did you know the Census ensures equal political representation among all 50 states? When South Carolinians are counted, we may end up with more seats in the US Congress! Did you know that Census Day is celebrated on April 1, the same day as our online Advocacy Day for Access & Independence? The Census is only taken once every 10 years. This is your chance to be #MoreThanANumber and make sure that #DisabilityCounts2020! If you have any questions about completing the Census, please contact Able SC by emailing advocacy@able-sc.org or calling 803-779-5121. | |
