NDRN Joins Organizations Urging the Senate to Support the 2020 Census Deadline Extensions Act

The National Disability Rights Network joined The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and The Census Project in a letter urging Senators to cosponsor the 2020 Census Deadline Extensions Act (S. 1267), which would extend the statutory deadlines for delivering apportionment and redistricting data to May 1, 2021 and October 1, 2021, respectively, to reflect the updated 2020 Census timeline compelled by major pandemic-related delays and to establish certainty for states and localities that must draw new, fair electoral districts.
