Washtenaw photo ID cards for residents: a local solution created to produce an inclusive community that connects and supports the livelihood of all.

Tens of thousands of our neighbors can’t access a library book; are restricted from making doctors appointments for their children, and are afraid to report a crime; all because they lack a photo ID. It’s estimated that 11% of all US citizens lack a photo ID. In Washtenaw County, that's over 38,000 people. Those of us who have a driver’s license often do not realize that a substantial number of pe

ople in our community are excluded from civic life because they are unable to access a State I.D. or driver’s license. Some of the obstacles encountered include: difficulty making medical appointments and inability to prove identity for employment, interactions with law enforcement officials, and to open bank accounts. Motivated by values of inclusion that dictate embracing and officially acknowledging the Washtenaw County residents who lack photo identification cards, the Washtenaw County I.D. (WCID) Task Force has come together to oversee the creation of a local solution: a county-wide photo identification. Decenas de miles de nuestros vecinos no pueden acceder a un libro de la biblioteca, están restringido de hacer citas médicas para sus hijos y tienen miedo de reportar un delito; todo porque falta una forma de identificación con foto. Es estimado que 11% de ciudadanos estadounidenses que faltan una forma de identificación con foto. En el condado de Washtenaw, eso es mas de 38.000 personas. Frecuentemente los de nosotros que tenemos una licencia para conducir no dar cuenta que hay mucha gente en nuestra comunidad que están excluidos de la vida cívica porque no tienen acceso a una identificación del estado o una licencia de conductor. Algunos de los obstáculos que han tenido incluyen: la dificultad a hacer citas médicas, la imposibilidad a probar su identidad para el empleo, interacciones con la policía y en el abrir de una cuenta del banco. Motivado por valores de inclusión que dictan abrazando y reconociendo oficialmente los habitantes del condado de Washtenaw que faltan una forma de identificación con foto, el equipo de trabajo del proyecto Washtenaw County I.D. (WCID) ha reunido para supervisar la creación de una solución local: una identificación con foto del condado.
