Voter ID and the Disability Community

Tuesday, January 31, at 2:30 pm CT at Legislative Plaza Room 31 in Nashville and online, Jim Dickson addressed the impact of Tennessee's Photo ID to vote law on the disability community. 

Our honored speaker is the Vice President of Organizing and Civic Engagement for the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and the Disability Vote Project, and member of the Board of Advisors for the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. 

Jim Dickson leads AAPD's nonpartisan Disability Vote Project, a broad coalition of 36 national disability-related organizations whose mission is to close the political participation gap for people with disabilities. The project focuses on voter registration and education, get-out-the-vote drives, election reform and polling place access. Mr. Dickson played a central role with the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCRH) effort to pass the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
