New York is the first state in the country to sign a contract with the federal government to implement a national identity card. National IDs would violate Americans' privacy rights by helping to consolidate data and facilitate tracking by the government. The government, your employer and your neighbors don’t need to know where you go or what you buy.

Join a group of experts including Udi Ofer of the New York Civil Liberties Union, Jim Harper of the Cato Institute, Valerie Lucznikowska of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, Ed Ott of the New York City Central Labor Council, Susan Lerner of Common Cause NY and New York State Sen. Eric Schneiderman, (D-Upper West Side) as they discuss what a national ID card would mean in New York.

The forum, "Your Papers Please: What the Real ID Act Means for American Values," is co-sponsored by the New York Society for Ethical Culture.
