Rideshare Rally in San Francisco


"There is rarely a day that goes by when we do not learn of another ride
denied to a blind person." Join our demonstration to protest rideshare
discrimination against blind people using guide dogs and white canes.

October 15, 2024
San Francisco, California
Uber and Lyft Headquarters
10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time


Book Hotel


If you are traveling to the rally and need hotel information, we have
secured a hotel block at the Crowne Plaza near the San Francisco Airport,
and you can book a room at $139, plus taxes and fees, per night. You can
also call the hotel at 650-342-9200 and ask to reserve a room in the
"National Federation" block. You can make your reservation on the Crowne
Plaza website <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=35656&qid=10300575> .
If you have questions, please connect with your state affiliate president.
The room block deadline is Friday, September 27.

*Please note: the exact outline of the rally route will be shared in the
coming weeks.


Rideshare Requirements


Uber and Lyft are not meeting the following 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.

The discrimination must end. Don't deny; let us ride.
