There was a catgirl census. The only options were - From Europe - From English speaking Country - Both - Neither. I thought censuses were supposed to capture the diversity of a group?

The American Census Bureau is considering changes that would artificially decrease the number of disabled people in the US. We may be able to stop this.

According to this article from the Associated Press, the Census Bureau's proposed changes would align the way that the American Community Survey measures disability with international standards. They will be changing the way that some of the questions are worded, as well as changing the options for answers.

The problem is this: the questions about disability will ask if respondents if they have “no difficulty,” “some difficulty,” “a lot of difficulty” or “cannot do at all” with regard to things like hearing, seeing, ability to bathe or dress oneself, etc. Someone will only be counted as disabled if they answer "a lot of difficulty" or "cannot do at all." This excludes a lot of people. "During testing last year by the Census Bureau, the percentage of respondents who were defined as having a disability went from 13.9% using the current questions to 8.1% under the international standards. When the definition was expanded to also include “some difficulty,” it grew to 31.7%" (AP).

So what can we do? The Census Bureau is accepting public comment on the proposed changes until the end of the day on Tuesday, December 19th. Visit this link to submit your comments, and tell the Census Bureau why this change is a bad idea! Statistics show that at least 25% of Americans are disabled (CDC). We can't let the Census Bureau erase us.

Please share this widely, and submit your comments before the close of business on Tuesday, December 19th! I also highly encourage you to check out the Associate Press article linked above, since it does a good job of explaining the situation in more detail.

so apparently, the US census is about to make 40% of disabled people disappear in its data.

they gonna change the disability-related questions, and then only count the two most negative answers as a disability. and also the new version will do even worse than the old version at counting disabled ppl who are chronically and/or mentally ill. and just in time for long covid to create more of exactly those kinds of disabled ppl [/tinfoil hat]

article about the change they're trying to make:

on how to leave a public comment to try to make that not happen:

Voting Rights Corrupted from Inclusion of Noncitizens in our Census!

It is a travesty that noncitizens hold the power to determine the composition of Congress and the presidency. The very essence of our electoral system is under threat as the Census includes illegal aliens and other noncitizens as residents. This egregious error must be rectified immediately if we are to salvage the integrity of our democracy.

The principle behind Congressional and Electoral College apportionment is simple: it should be based on the number of American citizens residing within each state. Yet, we find ourselves in a situation where noncitizens, who lack the legal right to vote, are being counted as equals in determining our nation’s leaders. This is an affront to every American citizen who believes in the power of their vote.

If we continue down this treacherous path, we risk diluting the voices of American citizens and compromising the very foundation upon which our democracy stands. By allowing noncitizens to play a role in apportionment, we diminish the influence of those who have earned the right to participate in our electoral process. It is time to take a stand and demand that our elected officials put an end to this injustice.

The Census must be barred from including noncitizens in apportionment. We must prioritize the voices of American citizens—the only population who can and should vote in U.S. elections. It is our duty as patriotic Americans to fight for a system that upholds the principles of fairness and ensures that those who have earned the right to vote are the ones picking America’s leaders. Let us rise together and reclaim our democracy from the grasp of noncitizens.

"Tell the Census Bureau: Nothing About Us Without Us!

Don’t Make Changes to the Disability Census Questions Without Meaningful Consultation with the Disability Community!

The American Community Survey (ACS), and specifically the disability questions in the survey, is one of the very few sets of data we have from the federal government about the disability population in the United States. This numerical information is critical in formulating federal, state, and local policymaking that impacts the disability community.

In September, the Census Bureau proposed changes to the disability questions in the ACS that will, as drafted, have a negative impact on the data that is collected. The new questions in the ACS have a strong possibility of undercounting the disability population leading to reduced funding for critical federal programs and loss of critical data demonstrating the needs of the community. This was all done with no involvement or consultation with the disability community before the changes were released.

Comments are currently being accepted by the Census Bureau. Now is the time to say how important this data is, and no changes should be implemented without consultation with the disability community! Nothing about us without us!

It's easy to take action!

Doing a project for school, but my subject matter would be a little hard to do research on without a public census. So I'm posting it here to hopefully get a bigger range of information!

Please reblog and share this around!
