Dear John,

Pride Month kicked off last week, and over here at VoteRiders we’ve been expanding our efforts to support LGBTQ+ voters with the ID they need to cast a ballot that counts.

Trans and nonbinary Americans face unique challenges to securing identification that is acceptable for voting and that accurately reflects their name and/or gender identity. For transgender and nonbinary people whose ID doesn’t match their name and gender, voter ID laws can make the experience of casting a ballot confusing and deeply intimidating.

VoteRiders and our pro bono legal partners conducted a thorough review and update of our specialized #TransPeopleVote resource page [[link removed]] , which is also featured on our partner HeadCount's Vote With Pride page. Not only can voters access our unique combination of state-by-state guides, but they can also connect directly with VoteRiders for free one-on-one help [[link removed]] via our Helpline and Chatbot.

Here’s how you can help us get the word out to all voters this Pride Month:

* Check out #TransPeopleVote [[link removed]] and Vote with Pride [[link removed]] to learn about state requirements for updating vital documents and state-issued IDs. Please then share this essential information with your family, friends and community.

* Spread the word about #TransPeopleVote on social media. You can share our posts on Instagram [[link removed]], Twitter [[link removed]] , and Facebook [[link removed]] or download the Pride Month graphic from our social media toolkit [[link removed]].

* Join us tomorrow, June 7, when we'll be teaming up with HeadCount to host an Ask-Me-Anything event on Reddit. We will be live on /r/Politics starting at 3 p.m. ET!


* Volunteer at one of three virtual letter-writing parties to celebrate Pride Month and ensure that all voters can vote with confidence! These will take place on June 9 at 7 p.m. ET, June 16 at 7 p.m. ET, and at another date to be added. Sign up here for Pride Month Letter Writing! [[link removed]]


* Donate. You will make a direct and immediate impact as we prepare voters for the crucial elections happening this year. Donate here to add your support to this campaign! [[link removed]]

With gratitude,
Roy Speckhardt, Development Director

PS: The cast of Hamilton is recording a set of PSAs for us in English and Spanish! One focuses on our #TransPeopleVote resources and the impact of voter ID laws on the LGBTQ+ community. Stay tuned for their release during Pride Month!
