Representation.

IDP provides advice, assistance, and publicity, and shares our expertise with attorneys and organizations who provide legal representation to those who find their rights infringed, or their legitimate activities curtailed, by demands for identification.

We welcome assistance from law firms, impact litigation groups, attorneys, and law students interested in these issues and cases.

Education.

IDP builds public awareness about the effects of ID requirements on fundamental rights.  The First Amendment rights of assembly, petition, and speech, our fundamental right to travel, and our basic rights to hold property and transact business are all affected. IDP provides expert testimony and written submissions and consults with policy-makers and advocates in regulatory, legislative, and legal proceedings that impact these rights.

We often work with journalists to provide subject-matter expertise, guidance in interpreting government and industry documents, critical perspectives and analysis of government claims, and on-the-record statements and appearances in all news media.

We welcome opportunities to speak to students of law and public policy and to campus and community organizations interested in freedom of movement as a human right.

Knowledge Base.

IDP maintains an extensive repository of white papers, commentaries, and analysis relating to identity-based domestic security programs.
