Photo I.D. Access and Voter I.D. Laws with Kat Calvin, Co-Founder & CEO of Project ID Action Fund

First, let us apologize for opening this episode talking about hot dogs… BUT beep, beep absolute icon coming through! That’s right this episode we were honored to speak with Kat Calvin, Co-Founder & CEO of Project ID Action Fund (and Founder and Executive Director of Spread The Vote), who, through her incredible work, has been honored as a TIME Magazine 16 People and Groups Fighting for a More Equal America, a 2018 Fast Company 100 Most Creative People in Business, and has been a Business Insider 30 Under 30. This lawyer, activist, and full-time badass spent the episode cracking us up and informing us on an issue we admit, we knew very little about. That issue? Identification politics and policy. When we say identification politics, we don’t mean the concept of selecting a party or opinion based on one’s background, we mean the politics of living in the United States with or without formal, government identification. Complex and nuanced, this topic and its relation to the mission set forth by Project ID Action Fund take center stage.

P.S. Kat is also the co-host of an amazing podcast as well - Vote! The Podcast. Check it out as they gear up for season 2.
