Member Opportunity: Transgender Voter ID Webinar for Movement Leaders

July 16, 2014

In the 2012 election cycle alone, an estimated 25,000 transgender people were disenfranchised by strict new voter ID laws in just 9 states.

With one-third of transgender people nationwide unable to update any of their voting IDs, this is a critical issue our movement must address.

The Equality Federation and our partners at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force invite you to attend our Transgender Voter ID Webinar on Thursday, August 7 at 3 p.m. ET to learn what your organization can do to make sure that transgender people aren’t kept from voting in your state this November.

Just click here to register now.

This webinar will include a comprehensive toolkit of resources to arm state-based advocates with information that will help them in their work to ensure that transgender voters:

  • have access to the polls;
  • know their voting rights; and
  • know how to obtain updated identity documents.

You will learn about model policies for states with and without strict photo ID policies, and how to train poll workers in your state so that transgender voters are treated with the dignity they deserve when they access the polls this fall.

Help us stop the disenfranchisement of legitimate voters caused by strict photo ID laws.

Register now for our Webinar on Thursday, August 7th at 3 p.m. ET.
