[BlindTlk] One-Minute-Video Project for Lyft and Uber denials

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello everyone, please share this wherever appropriate.


The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU), a division of the 
National Federation of the Blind (NFB), is collecting stories from 
handlers who have been denied rides from Lyft and Uber drivers in video 
form from October 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. Our goal is to put 
these videos together to present to the individual rideshare companies 
to make them aware that blind people with legitimate guide dogs and 
other service animals are still getting denied by drivers all over the 
country. You do not have to be a member of the NFB or NAGDU to submit a 
video. We ask that the videos are filmed after a denial occurs, not 
during. Videos should be no longer than one minute in length and should 
describe who you are and the impact of the denial. I.E. did you miss a 
doctor’s appointment or were you late to pick up your child from 
daycare? By submitting a video, you are giving us permission to share 
your information with Lyft and/or Uber. Please contact the NAGDU board 
of directors at (346) 439-7444 or board at nagdu.org if you have any 
questions or to submit your video.
