Hello, my name is [your name] and I am a constituent from [your county, city, town, neighborhood]. I am calling to urge Senator/Representative____ to cosponsor [or, to thank the Senator/Representative for cosponsoring] the ID's for an Inclusive Democracy Act. An estimated 21 million Americans lack ID, which means they can't get a job, sign a lease, open a bank account, see a doctor, or apply for public benefits. State ID's can be expensive and inaccessible, and the process to get one varies hugely from state to state. A no-cost federal ID, distributed through the post office, will give millions of Americans a leg up as we continue to recover from the pandemic. Thanks for your time!

I am calling to urge Senator/Representative____ to cosponsor [or, to thank the Senator/Representative for cosponsoring] the ID's for an Inclusive Democracy Act. Homelessness is a national crisis, and we must do more. ID's are a key part of the solution - without them, unhoused people can't get jobs, access routine healthcare instead of relying on the emergency room, get signed up for services, or access shelters and transitional housing. This bill could help so many Americans regain stability after homelessness. Thanks for your time!

Older Americans are less likely to have ID, especially as they stop driving, but a lack of identification means they can't access benefits like Medicare. I strongly support this commonsense way to help our seniors. Thanks for your time!

Research has shown that when people are released from prison, how quickly they find a job is a key factor in whether they reoffend. That's why I strongly support this bill - without an ID, you can't get a job, and identifying documents are often misplaced during incarceration, leaving people with no options upon release. A no-cost federal ID, easily accessible through the post office, solves this problem and is a commonsense way to support public safety efforts. Thanks for your time!

Veterans are statistically more likely to be homeless than the general population, and an ID is key to obtaining services and housing. Veterans also need ID to access healthcare at VA hospitals. Veterans deserve our support, and this bill will help them access the benefits they've earned. Thanks for your time!

Foster kids are often not provided any documentation at all when they age out of the system. No ID means no job, no housing, and no way to sign up for education programs. This lack of support means foster kids have extremely high rates of homelessness, and are especially vulnerable to identity theft. A no-cost federal ID could be life-changing for them. Thanks for your time!

The process of updating gender markers on vital documents is notoriously burdensome for transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Less than half of states allow adults to self-attest to their gender to update their state ID's and driver's licenses. Additionally, many states still don't offer a non-binary option. Everyone deserves an ID that reflects their identity, and that's why I strongly support this bill. Thanks for your time!
