D20 Survey: Bring Your Input to International Policymaking!

The Disability 20, or D20, brings the voices, experiences, and leadership of people with disabilities into discussions connected to the G20, an international forum representing many of the world’s largest economies.

The information collected through this survey will help inform disability-inclusive recommendations and advocacy connected to the 2026 G20 process.

The survey asks about issues that affect our communities and our ability to live independently, including complicated government paperwork and eligibility rules, access to benefits and services, reliable electricity for mobility devices and medical equipment, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, accessibility, employment, healthcare, education, and community participation.

This is an important opportunity to make sure global decisions are informed by the people directly affected by them. As we have always said: Nothing about us without us.

The survey takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

Please complete the survey and share it with people with disabilities, Centers for Independent Living, disability-led organizations, and others throughout your networks. The broader and more diverse the participation, the stronger our collective voice will be.

Thank you for helping ensure that people with disabilities have a meaningful voice in shaping global policy.

“15 states allow corporal punishment and Florida is one of them.”
