How We Can Fight For Disability Justice and Healthcare with the 2020 Census | STORIES FOR CHANGE
Getting counted in the 2020 Census helps fund Medicaid and disability services, ensuring people with disabilities get the support and rights they deserve.
As the Autism Waiver Service Coordinator of The Arc of Prince George’s County, Elizabeth Graham helps families with children access Medicaid services, so they receive support in their homes. Elizabeth, who is also on the autism spectrum, knows firsthand how getting counted in the census helps fund support and services for people with disabilities.

Stories for Change is a joint project between the Census Counts campaign, housed at the Leadership Conference Education Fund, and NextDayBetter. It features storytellers and census advocates whose lived experiences show the deep connections between census participation and a wide spectrum of advocacy, including racial justice, immigration, disability, labor, and faith.
