Dear John, 

Amani was raised in a family of lifelong voters, so there was no question in her mind that she was going to register to vote the moment she turned 18. But first-time voters in Pennsylvania need an ID to vote, which Amani didn’t have.

VoteRiders was able to help Amani thanks to the support of our donors, whose generosity allows us to cover all fees and transportation costs for voters who need an ID. Now, you can help voters like Amani vote with confidence in the midterm elections.

Amani

During a lesson on civics, Amani’s twelfth-grade Social Studies teacher handed out VoteRiders’ Voter ID Information Cards — pocket-sized guides on Pennsylvania’s voter ID law and which forms of ID can be used to vote. On the back of the card, students found information on how to contact VoteRiders for free help getting an ID or any underlying documents needed, like a Social Security card or birth certificate.

Amani reached out for help through VoteRiders’ website and was quickly connected to a VoteRiders Voter ID Assistance Volunteer who helped her schedule an appointment at her local Pennsylvania Department of Transportation office. The volunteer walked her through what other ID documents she’d need to bring, and covered the cost when her Pennsylvania state ID was finally ready to pick up.

“I think voting for the first time will be exciting and a chance for me to have my voice heard,” Amani said.

Make your tax-deductible gift now to help first-time voters like Amani get an ID to vote in the 2026 midterm elections! A group of generous donors is still matching all gifts up to $30,000, so your gift will 2X as many voters!

Sincerely,

Lauren Kunis

P.S. VoteRiders always covers the fees associated with getting an ID, because we don’t think cost should be a barrier to voting. Chip in to help voters like Amani secure an ID to vote and your gift will be matched!
