CRDJ urges a different direction: count every resident, preserve disaggregated data, ensure transparent classification, protect the ACS as a complement and keep data power accountable. Comments due 10/13/26. 37003b98-a009-4c51-ace1-9fd474d7709e.usrfiles.com/ugd/37003b_2... #Census2030 #DataJustice

This is about more than data collection. Who gets counted—and what we choose to measure—shapes representation, determines which disparities remain visible, and affects what our democracy is able to know about itself.

One rationale cites Louisiana v. Callais, which narrowed standards for some Voting Rights Act claims. But a more demanding evidentiary standard requires better evidence, not less. Courts still need data on race, geography, voting patterns & discrimination.

The Census Bureau is proposing major changes to the 2030 Census—including excluding many noncitizen residents from the population used for congressional representation and eliminating race and ethnicity questions from the decennial census.

CRDJ public comment graphic over a historic census document. Public comments are due October 13, 2026, regarding proposed Census residence criteria and demographic questions. CRDJ urges the Census Bureau to reject changes that would exclude residents, eliminate race and ethnicity questions, make communities less visible in public data, or expand government power to classify people through linked records.

Black graphic listing recommendations for proposed 2026 Census changes, due October 13, 2026. Recommendations: count every resident; ensure transparent and accurate classification; preserve disaggregated demographic data; do not treat the American Community Survey as a substitute; and keep data power accountable. Bottom text encourages viewers to submit a public comment letter through CRDJustice.org.

Across California, unmet needs too often become crises met with coercion. CRDJ + @disabilityrightsca.bsky.social call on the next governor to invest in voluntary, community-based care—and give disabled people and those with lived experience real power in shaping it. medium.com/@crdjustice/...

Graphic for “Care Without Coercion: What Disabled Californians Need from the Next Governor,” by Disability Rights California and CRDJ. An illustration centers the California State Capitol against mountains, palm trees, and a large golden sun, while a dark prison wall enters from the left. The CRDJ and Disability Rights California logos appear at the upper corners.

CRDJ asks a larger question: Will federal data still show who government systems serve, who they miss & how policies affect their lives, especially as disability research infrastructure faces broader changes? Read Our PCL here: 37003b98-a009-4c51-ace1-9fd474d7709e.usrfiles.com/ugd/37003b_6...

Federal agencies have spent years addressing gaps in data about people with intellectual & developmental disabilities (I/DD). Now, the proposed 2028 NHIS redesign could remove measures developed to help close those gaps. #DisabilityData #NHIS

CRDJ Public Comment Letter graphic over a blue-toned image of a person viewed from behind against an abstract data-like background. Due October 19, 2026. Title: “RE: NHIS Proposed 2028 Redesign.” Text explains that the proposed National Health Interview Survey redesign could undo progress in identifying people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, weakening federal evidence used to document disparities, evaluate policy, and hold systems accountable.

Black-and-white CRDJ recommendations graphic for the NHIS Proposed 2028 Redesign, due October 19, 2026. Four concerns are listed: reverses recent I/DD data progress; weakens disability evidence infrastructure; compounds inequities in who gets counted; and moves forward without enough testing or transparency. An envelope icon accompanies a call to submit a public comment.

This Labor Day, we’re interested in what becomes possible when we organize that way: Defend collective power. Expand what worker power is for. Organize around interdependence. A collective, accessible and anti-racist future of labor. (10/10)

Labor organizing also offers disability justice a way to turn demands for access, care, safety and bodily autonomy into collective power over the institutions that structure our lives. The movements are closer than we sometimes imagine. (9/10)

CRDJ graphic calling on viewers to “Defend collective power,” “Expand what worker power is for,” and “Organize around interdependence,” alongside illustrations of workers from several occupations. Concludes that labor’s future should be collective, accessible, anti-racist, and built for the bodies and minds people actually have.

Disability justice challenges us to rethink what worker power is for: not only the right to work, but the right not to be debilitated by work; room for changing capacities; care and access as infrastructure; and power over pace, surveillance and AI. (8/10)

Calls for a labor movement organized around real workers and changing capacities, including bargaining rights, protection from debilitation, care and access infrastructure, economic security, and worker power over technology and productivity.

This Labor Day is meaningful for us at CRDJ: our staff recently became members of UAW 4811 at UCLA. Recent wins show what becomes possible when flexibility, security, healthcare, caregiving, immigration and workplace power become matters of collective action. (7/10)

Slide highlights CRDJ joining UAW 4811 at UCLA and recent union wins including wage increases, pathways to career positions, flexible-work protections, job security, immigration protections, childcare, and dependent healthcare.

We may call these worker safety, racial justice, immigrant justice, patient safety or dignity at work. They’re also disability justice struggles—over changing capacity, care, collective access and the idea that human value is not the same as productivity. (6/10)

Slide connects worker safety, racial and immigrant justice, patient safety, and dignity at work to disability-justice principles including changing capacity, care, collective access, and human value beyond productivity.

Workers are already challenging those demands: nurses fighting unsafe staffing, warehouse and farmworkers fighting heat and injury, fast-food workers fighting unstable schedules, home-care workers fighting for care, and gig workers fighting algorithmic control. (5/10)

Examples of nurses, warehouse workers, farmworkers, fast-food workers, home-care workers, and gig workers organizing around conditions that affect bodies, health, safety, and capacity.

“Ability to work” has never been neutral. Labor systems imagine an “ideal worker” who can maintain a constant pace through pain, heat, stress and exhaustion, with no access, health or caregiving needs. Real bodies don’t work that way. (4/10)

Slide critiques labor systems built around workers who can maintain constant availability and productivity regardless of pain, exhaustion, caregiving, access needs, or changing capacity.

That gap matters especially now. Since 2025, federal actions have weakened collective bargaining, worker protections and anti-discrimination tools—making racialized disabled workers more vulnerable to exploitation, exclusion and harm. (3/10)

Slide describing recent federal actions weakening collective bargaining, worker protections, anti-discrimination enforcement, and political organizing, emphasizing their consequences for racialized disabled workers.

Americans want more worker power than our labor system currently delivers: 71% approve of unions and 47% want them to have more influence, yet only about 1 in 10 U.S. workers belongs to a union. (2/10)

Federal Judges Split on Whether The Supreme Court Legalized Racism

The Supreme Court greenlit Trump's racism against Haitian recipients of Temporary Protected Status. Now, judges wonder if they must condone racism, too.

An ICE agent directed Emilio, a Venezuelan Deaf man, to get onto a bus. He asked for an interpreter and didn’t get one. When he saw a Mexican flag, he realized he was being deported to Mexico, sans passport. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
