Full Twitter thread from Mayor Q:

Four years ago, advocates for our new American community; in homelessness outreach; and those seeking better services for all, approached me about a municipal ID program, helping our residents access checking/savings accounts, build businesses, and access better city services.

Today, we are ready to implement. With my sincerest thanks to WeDevelopment Credit Union, proudly founded as a Black-owned financial institution based at 30th and Prospect with city support, the new Fountain Card will be accessible to all Kansas Citians—removing barriers to all.

The Fountain Card can be used as ID and to access all city services, the library, transit, banking services, and more. This will be transformative for access to opportunity for everyone present in Kansas City. We look to grow even more places for card deployment. I am proud.

 

If anyone wants your work featured in the banner and/or the icon, feel free to comment here with your work.

It looks like Lemmy community icons display at 120x120 px and banners display at 736x230 px, but you can upload larger images than that. So whatever you submit, try to keep a 1:1 aspect ratio for the icon and 16:5 for the banner. If something ends up needing resized, I can deal with that part.

Original content from members of this community only, please. If you want credited in the sidebar, also drop your preferred @ in with your submission.

I'll give this thread a while to gather submissions before making any changes and if there are multiple submissions, I will use the most upvoted. If there are no submissions after a while, I may end up using some of my own photography.
