Uber continued to pick up people at JFK when taxi cab drivers were striking. As a response, Lyft donated $1 million to the ACLU, so everyone jumped on the delete Uber/use Lyft bandwagon. Disclaimer: I'm more of a subway kind of guy, I don't use either and don't necessarily think we should be focusing on Uber and Lyft to make our political views seen. There are probably better boycotts out there.
- dllthomas 10y ago> Uber continued to pick up people at JFK when taxi cab drivers were striking. Did Lyft do otherwise? That's not my understanding. > Lyft donated $1 million to the ACLU Lyft has so far (presumably) donated $250k to the ACLU. They pledged $1 million over four years. And you know what? Good on 'em! Uber had already pledged to fight the immigration ban directly on behalf of affected drivers, to the tune of $3 million. I love the ACLU, but I'm not sure I'd bet on their lawyers over Uber's, and getting both mobilized sounds like a win. > I'm more of a subway kind of guy The subway to the airport was refusing to accept non-ticketed passengers during the planned protest (some time after the taxi strike).
