Hey ID fam!
Last week, I told you about our two exciting new bills in the California State Legislature, AB 464 which will make IDs and vital documents free for low income residents and SB 289 which will make IDs free for all veterans. We could not be more thrilled about these bills, they are exactly what we are working for all over the country. But we are also excited because both of those bills were among the first introduced by brand new legislators whom we endorsed last year. One of those incredible legislators is already in the race for reelection, and we couldn’t wait to endorse her as early as possible.
So I’m thrilled to announce that we are endorsing Pilar Schiavo for reelection!
Pilar has already proven that she is a true ID champion with the introduction of AB 464 and her long history of fighting for ID access for Californians. She has also introduced innovative anti-homelessness legislation and is proving to be a fiery voice who will speak up for the voiceless in the state legislature. Pilar’s legislation and voice will have an impact far beyond the state borders. We will be using the example of her legislation to introduce similar legislation across the country, working to ensure that unhoused and low income Americans in every state have free access to their vital documents and IDs.
In the coming months we will share a variety of ways that you will be able to support Pilar’s reelection and help get AB 464 pass. For now, we have two asks:
Tweet at Pilar and tell her THANK YOU for her hard work and AB 464!
Make a donation HERE that will go to both Pilar’s direct efforts and our efforts to make sure she keeps making an impact in the legislature for a long time.
Elections matter, and when we win, we change things. Thank you for being on this journey with us.
