Dear John, 

VoteRiders’ volunteers filled nearly 10,000 volunteer shifts in 2024. Volunteers reached out to millions of at-risk voters with voter ID information, and some worked one-on-one with voters over the course of days, weeks, and even months, to make sure they secured an ID in time to vote. 

Iris Johnson is one of those volunteers. She lives in Florida, where she saw that people were being restricted from voting due to the state’s voter ID law, which became even stricter in 2021. She did a Google search and found that VoteRiders needed folks to help voters get their IDs. She signed up right away.

Iris Johnston is a VoteRiders Voter ID Assistance Volunteer

As a VoteRiders Voter ID Assistance Volunteer, Iris coordinates transportation for people to their local DMV and meets them there to support them through the entire process of getting an ID.

“When someone is successful at getting their ID, they get so excited,” she said. “There are a lot of high-fives.”

VoteRiders always covers the fees and transportation costs associated with getting an ID because we don’t think cost should ever be a barrier to voting.

While we rely on our volunteers to coordinate much of this important work, we also rely on our donors to make sure we can cover ID fees and related costs for thousands of voters.

We’ve set a goal to raise $50,000 before December 31 to ensure we have the resources we need to help voters in 2025. Will you make a generous contribution now so we’re prepared to help thousands of volunteers facing new and more strict voter ID laws in the year ahead?

We are so grateful for VoteRiders volunteers and donors, whose combined support allows us to scale up our impact to meet the growing need for free ID help year after year. Thank you for being a VoteRiders supporter that we can count on to help!

Sincerely,

Sylvester Johnson III
