Member Resource: Transgender Voter ID Webinar Toolkit

September 3, 2014

About 24,000 trans individuals in 10 states may be disenfranchised by strict photo ID laws in the November 2014 general election.

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

In a webinar presented by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and the Equality Federation, we shared a comprehensive toolkit of resources to arm state-based advocates with information to help them in their work advocating for transgender voters. You can access these resources below.

You can view the webinar in its entirety on our Youtube Channel here.
