One way VoteRiders shows up for LGBTQ+ communities is by co-hosting legal name change clinics.
In Florida, we’ve teamed up with the Gender Advancement Project (GAP), which helps transgender and gender-expansive folks with pro bono help changing their legal name. Once a voter completes their legal name change, our team steps in to help them update their ID documents and cover all the costs.
In Pittsburgh, our Pennsylvania State Director is co-hosting a name and gender marker change clinic with our partners, TransYOUniting and the Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation, both LGBTQ+ organizations that support Pittsburgh’s queer and HIV-positive communities.
You can help spread the word! Share our Vote With Pride resource page, and if you or someone you know needs ID information or assistance, call or text our helpline at 866-432-8643 or visit VoteRiders.org/freehelp.
LGBTQ+ Americans are here to stay and will never stop existing. Alongside our partners in the queer and pro-democracy movements, we’re working every day to celebrate, support, and empower LGBTQ+ communities with the tools and information they need to fight for their future at the ballot box and beyond.
