AI: Will You Be Able to Vote?
By According to the Williams Institute at UCLA, over 25,000 transgender voters face possible disenfranchisement in the upcoming presidential election due to new voter ID laws in 9 states. Transgender voters face multiple barriers to getting appropriate identification, and may face additional barriers if they are also people of color, students, low income, or have a disability.
Are you worried about having your voice heard in elections in your area? Do you face ID issues that disrupt your life? Do you know anyone who has struggled, or is struggling, to get proper identification documents?
