Miriam,
Last night, as thousands protested Trump's Muslim Ban, the NYC Taxi Workers
Alliance called for a strike and halted pickups at JFK in solidarity. But
Uber crossed the picket line -- and it's certainly not their first time
breaking rank with working people. Now, thousands of people across the
country are deleting their Uber accounts. Uber needs to hear why.

kA> Uber: Stop collaborating with the Trump Administration.
As public outrage has grown, Uber created a $3 million defense fund to
protect people from Trump's un-American and illegal orders on immigration.
But, it's not enough.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is a member of Donald Trump's economic advisory
board. In justifying the move to his employees, some of whom are directly
impacted by Trump's illegal order, Kalanick said, "We'll partner with anyone
in the world as long they're about making transportation in cities better."
Benito Mussolini, the Italian fascist, said he 'made the trains run on
time.' That didn't excuse fascism in the 1930's and it rings just as hollow
today. Kalanick must resign from Trump's economic advisory board
immediately. There's still time for Uber to join the right side of history,
but it's running out.

kA> Uber CEO Travis Kalanick resign from Trump's economic advisory board
immediately and stop collaborating with the Trump administration.
We know boycotts have power. In the 1950's civil rights activists led the
Montgomery Bus Boycotts and forced the Supreme Court to strike down
segregation laws. We need you to join the boycott of Uber until the company
agrees to join The Resistance.
In Solidarity,
- Liz, Jacob, Mehrdad and the People's Action team

kA> Voting, calling, and writing your elected representatives matters. But
so to does flexing your economic power to stop corporate collaborators. Sign
the petition and share it with your family and friends tonight.
