The Central Ohio Workers Center is currently circulating an on-line petition and providing a suggested letter for those wishing to physically mail a show of support for this program. Implementing this program in Columbus will provide necessary identification for tens of thousands of residents, especially those in vulnerable populations who have trouble obtaining traditional forms of ID such as victims of domestic violence, people experiencing homelessness, immigrants, and those re-entering society from prison/jail​. This would represent a significant step in addressing a critical city‐wide problem since lack of acceptable identification keeps these populations isolated and susceptible to exploitation. This municipal ID card will be helpful for proving identity and could connect residents to services, programs, and benefits.  Click here to sign onto the letter of support.
