Agencies across the country have been working closely with the U.S. Census Bureau and its disability and civil rights partners to ensure that everyone is counted in the 2020 Census.

This work has included collaborating with partners on accessible materials, such as circulating Braille and Large-Print forms, conducting social media campaigns, and advocating for people with disabilities to have a voice in creating a fair, accurate, and accessible 2020 Census.
