VoteRiders

Assist voters with legal name changes!

Enable voters to get ID to cast a ballot with confidence.

Posted March 29, 2023

Background & Context

More states are passing stricter voter ID laws everyday disenfranchising voters and creating confusion. Getting ID to vote is complicated and obtaining underlying documents is often difficult without ID, so that's where you come in...

Immediate Problem

Not only do we help get people the ID and underlying documents they need to vote but also to get housing, healthcare, a job, etc.

Work & Deliverables

Assist clients seeking a legal name change. Counsel is needed to represent the client for the limited purpose of obtaining a legal name change. Currently, we are looking for attorneys based in the following communities:

Charlotte, NC

Cleveland, OH
Columbus, OH
Cincinnati, OH
