August 7 Session Scheduled-Topic: Building Statewide Power for ID Access:
Presenters: Christine Dragonette, director of social ministry at St. Francis Xavier Church in St. Louis, Missouri and Sara Ruiz, executive director of the Ashrei Foundation in St. Louis.
The Ashrei Foundation and St. Francis Xavier co-convene the Missouri State ID Access Coalition, which brings together stakeholders across the state of Missouri to eliminate barriers to government identification. Sara and Christine will share their experience, challenges, and areas of learning in both building up direct ID and birth certificate support and working for systems level change in a statewide coalition.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Of course, we are always available for a conversation and would love to hear from you!

The Movement Advancement Project (MAP) ID Study may be the most comprehensive, in-depth study on the national ID crisis in over a decade. The study “... is a robust cross-population analysis and recommends systemic solutions to remove barriers and improve access to IDs.” To access the recording of the May 3 Conversation discussion with Logan Casey, Senior Policy Researcher & Advisor Movement Advancement Project, presenting, click the link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UcwTFZCix2j-tZN4y8Xrl8dZQ7J8KHld/view?usp=share_link

In every state across the nation there are individuals and families experiencing or at risk of entering homelessness. In many cases they have lost - or perhaps never possessed - their legal identification documents. Getting those documents, including a state ID or birth certificate, can seem impossible. The issue is complicated by the fact that there are at least 50 different answers to the question.
We are creating ONE SINGLE NATIONAL VOICE to solve this problem
Mission Statement: To end and prevent homelessness across the nation by promoting and supporting organizations focused on providing legally recognized replacement identification documents to those in need.
Vision Statement: To create and support a 50-state solution to the issues caused by “lack of an ID” such that lack of ID ceases to be a barrier to ending or preventing homelessness.
Belief Statement: We believe that a person's ability to get a piece of paper or a plastic card should not be what stops them from ending their homelessness.
If you believe in our mission, if you share our vision, if you believe as we do that lack of an ID should not determine one's success, please join us.
Join the conversation on one of our monthly meetings.
We look forward to working with you!
The focus of the conversation is on ending and preventing homelessness by providing State ID, birth certificates and other needed documents.
Identification is the means and not the focus.
We are working to create a National Conversation to solve this problem once and for all. Your participation is needed and appreciated!
Monthly Conversation: 1st Wednesday of each month
Learn about the work, meet other members and discuss a topic of interest. Provide your input where you have some expertise. A new topic will be covered each month.
