This January, Cornelius Taylor, 46, was sleeping in an Atlanta encampment when a bulldozer came to clear the site. He was crushed to death.

Why was Cornelius still living on the streets?
Because he didn’t have an ID.
 |
That’s it.
He couldn’t get housing. Couldn’t get benefits. Couldn’t get out.
Because he didn’t have the one document that unlocks everything else.
The City of Atlanta, like every other city in the country, is clearing unhoused encampments without ensuring that the residents of those encampments have the ID they need to permanently escape homelessness and rebuild their lives.
This is why we do what we do. At Spread The Vote + Project ID, we fight every single day to make sure people like Cornelius can get the ID they need to survive. Because without it, doors stay closed. And sometimes, people die.
Cornelius should still be alive.
If you believe that, help us make sure this never happens again.
→ Donate today to help us get IDs into the hands of the people who need them most.
→ Share this story and talk about it—because silence is complicity.
→ Support policies that make ID access faster, easier, and universal.
This isn’t just bureaucracy. It’s life or death.
