Report
The 2024 elections are only three months away, and turning up at the polls is critical. But the complex landscape of voter ID laws across the U.S. can make voting a challenge. This week, Imara takes a look at the proliferation of these laws, and the potential disenfranchisement of trans voters whose name, gender markers, and appearance may not match voter registration records. First, she talks with NBC Out reporter Jo Yurcaba about the barriers to updating government IDs across different states and the potential impacts on everything from school board elections to the presidential race. Next, she’s joined by Josie Caballero from Advocates for Trans Equality, who shares advice and resources to help make sure everyone is able to cast their ballot in November.To get more information on updating your ID, registering to vote, and casting your ballot, check out the following resources:VoterRiders: visit https://www.voteriders.org/pride/ or call/text their voter ID hotline at 844-338-8743TRANSform the Vote: https://transformthevote.org/votingTransLifeline’s ID Change Library: https://translifeline.org/resources/id-change-library/Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok, Instagram, Threads,  X, and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on X (@ImaraJones) and Instagram (@Imara_jones_)Follow our guests on social media!MJ McClure: X (@seed_the_vote) and Instagram (@seed_the_vote)Jo Yurcaba: X (@JoYurcaba) and Instagram (@JoYurcaba)Josie Caballero: X (@josierosec) and Instagram (@josierosec)TransLash Podcast is produced by Translash Media.Translash Team: Imara Jones, Oliver-Ash Kleine, Aubrey Calaway. Xander Adams is our senior sound engineer and a contributing producer.This episode was sound engineered with help from Lucy Little. Oliver Whitney and Courtney Cobb are our social media producers.Theme Music: Ben Draghi and ZZK records.  Hosted on Acast.
