Скачать или смотреть The Disability Vote is 61 Million Voices Strong

Easterseals Southern California, which assists more than 13,000 people with developmental disabilities and other special needs throughout SoCal, has launched a public awareness campaign encouraging people with disabilities to register and to vote.

According to the CDC, more than 61 million people across the country—25 percent of the U.S. population or one-in-four voters—have a disability, making them a minority demographic that could help decide the Nov. 3 presidential election. Of those, 23 percent live in California (more than 9 million), nearly 5.5 million of them in SoCal.

Under the banner, We Are the 25%, the campaign’s goals are to raise awareness; educate people on the various options available to them outside of traditional voting avenues that cater to their needs, by mail, at home or at the polls; and encourage them to take action.
