ACL and the disability and aging networks it funds are working together to ensure that older adults and people with disabilities are able to exercise their fundamental right to vote. ACL's programs provide a variety of resources, including information and education, supportive services and legal assistance. They also work with their states and communities to improve access to the voting process. ACL compiled this page to make it easier for disabled people and older adults to find the voting resources they need.

This page is home to ACL's logos in a variety of formats. If you're looking for posters, social media toolkits and other materials for upcoming special events and observances like Older Americans Month, check out their individual pages, which can be accessed through our Events and Observances page.

ACL can help you with reporting on issues affecting older adults, people with disabilities, and the families and caregivers of both.

During the last two decades, the number of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) living in community settings and receiving home and community-based services (HCBS) increased dramatically. While this led to better outcomes, including people with I/DD making more of their own choices and being a part of the community, there are great variations in the accessibility of quality HCBS across the country.

June 3-9, 2024 Every June, ACL and its Senior Medicare Patrol Resource Center lead the nation's observance of Medicare Fraud Prevention Week. Established in 2022, this week focuses on raising awareness of the actions everyone can take to prevent Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. Medicare loses an estimated $60 billion each year due to fraud, errors, and abuse. Issues related to these problems affect people across the country every day, often costing them time, money, and peace of mind.
