We Can't Contain Our Excitement!
Introducing a bill to congress is a pretty cool thing. Not just because it's a great accomplishment, but because it's a chance to make real and lasting change.
In case you haven't heard, H.R. 8221 would establish a free and optional federal ID. The team at our sister organization, Project ID + Spread The Vote, works so hard to ensure that people who need help getting a government-issued photo ID can get the piece of plastic that they need to apply for jobs, obtain housing, open a bank account and so much more, but they'd happily put themselves out of business if it meant that every American had access to a free ID.
We are proud to be supported by the Americans of Conscience Checklist, who just posted an inspiring message by our CEO, Kat Calvin. We're also honored to have the support of amazing organizations like the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the Coalition on Human Needs, iFoster, the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics, Care in Action, and the National Center for Transgender Equality.
