Amanda quickly learned that VoteRiders does not shrink from a challenge.
First, we ordered Amanda a new birth certificate and had it expedited because she needed her ID as soon as possible for employment, healthcare, and other services.
Once her birth certificate arrived, we scheduled her a Lyft to take her to a different BMV than the one that had turned her away three times. One of our volunteers met her there to provide support and advocate on her behalf.
Together, Amanda and the VoteRiders volunteer presented the clerk with all her documentation, and this time, it was accepted. Soon she had her ID in hand — the clerk even asked if she wanted to register to vote, and of course she did!
Your matched support is an important part of our ability to help voters like Amanda. We always cover the fees and transportation costs associated with getting an ID, because we believe cost should never be a barrier to voting.
Make your tax-deductible donation today and it will be DOUBLED — so we can help twice as many voters like Amanda get the help they need to get an ID and cast a ballot in every election.
Sincerely,
Lauren Kunis
CEO and Executive Director
VoteRiders
P.S. All gifts up to $30,000 will be matched through December 31 to ensure we have the resources we need to help voters like Amanda before the midterm elections. Donate to help voters like Amanda!
