[IABS-Talk] Uber and Lyft Problems

[davant1958 at gmail.com]

Hello All:

During our most recent advocacy committee meeting, some expressed concern
over discriminatory behavior by the rideshare services. 

Please remember that the National Federation of the Blind has a survey form
one can fill out if you believe you were discriminated against based on your
blindness. Go to www.nfb.org <http://www.nfb.org> .
