In response to the devastating shooting at a Florida high school, numerous companies are stepping up to support the movement for gun control. From altering their gun sales policies to severing ties with the NRA, organizations are taking action. Among them, Lyft has announced it will provide free rides for participants attending the March for Our Lives rallies.
Scheduled for March 24, these rallies aim to advocate for sensible gun legislation, spearheaded by a courageous group of young activists who survived the tragedy at Stoneman Douglas High School. Jamie Roberts, one of the rally organizers, shared on social media a letter from Lyft expressing their commitment to support this vital cause. “This is incredible,” Roberts tweeted.
Lyft co-founders, Alex Thompson and Mia Martinez, penned a heartfelt note stating, “It’s alarming that gun violence is such a pervasive threat in our country. Like many, we are moved by your leadership.” They further expressed their gratitude for the students’ bravery and intelligence, which have reignited hope for a safer future.
The response from the online community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many users applauding Lyft’s initiative and directing pointed comments toward other rideshare companies. Well done, Lyft. The challenge is now on Uber.
