> Additional background Information
> 
> As reported in the 2024 Presidential Report, "both of the leading
> [rideshare] companies, Lyft and Uber, are failing to meet their obligations
> to ensure that blind individuals are not discriminated against. While we
> continue to hold regular meetings with both companies in good faith to
> improve their policies and practices, there is rarely a day that goes by
> when we do not learn of another ride denied to a blind person.We will take
> all of the courageous steps necessary to stop this second-class treatment."
> 
> Rideshare Requirements
> 
> *    Drivers must not discriminate; they must pick up blind passengers.
> *    Rideshare companies need a Zero Tolerance Policy for violators.
> *    Rideshare companies must reduce the burden imposed on blind
> passengers to report denials when they happen.
> *    Rideshare companies must deliver better driver education on the
> policy and laws regarding blind passengers, especially guide dog users.
> 
> Uber and Lyft are not meeting these requirements. The discrimination must
> end. Don't deny; let us ride.
> 
> Submit Interest Form to Attend
> 
> Please let us know if you are interested in attending this demonstration on
> October 15 by submitting the Rideshare Rally Interest Form. We will be
> sharing more information regarding the logistics, rally route, and Rideshare
> Rally details in the coming weeks. By completing the form, you are not
> obligated to attend.
