Come join SISJ, MIX, and GRID for an active Town Hall Discussion about the Washtenaw ID Project. There will be opportunities to learn more and get involved. Motivated by values of inclusion that dictate embracing and officially acknowledging those county residents who lack photo identification cards, the Washtenaw I.D. Task Force has come together to gather information on the nature of civic problems faced by those without ID, evaluate solutions implemented in other jurisdictions, and propose suitable methods for resolving identification issues in Washtenaw County. "Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law" Article 6, Universal Declaration of Human Rights Washtenaw County residents who are unable to access Michigan State IDs are left in the shadows; they fall into the margins of our community--unable to participate in and access the same services permitted to their neighbors. We are able to make Washtenaw County a more inclusive community by issuing a county photo ID card for any resident who wants one. http://www.washtenawid.com/home
