After #DeleteUber, CEO Pledges $3M To Drivers Affected By Trump’s #MuslimBan

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is scrambling to save his business after his failure to denounce Donald Trump’s immigration ban sparked a #DeleteUber campaign.

Thousands including Janelle Monáe, Trey Songz, Jesse Williams, and Taraji P. Henson have taken to social media to blast Uber and offer instructions on how to delete your account.

Don't just #deleteuber delete your whole account with they ass!! NY taxi workers union had a work stoppage at JFK in opposition to the Muslim ban yesterday. The CEO of Uber (as you may already know has said he's happy to work with Trump. Later claiming he would "persuade" from the inside) responded by dropping the surge pricing to the airport. Undercutting the actions taken in response to the ban by taxi drivers. #FuckEm ✊?✊?✊?✊?✊??????????? Told y'all @lyft was the move a long time ago… use my code "Trey" for free rides!

To put the nail in Uber’s coffin, Lyft CEO Logan Green stepped up and announced he would be donating $1 million to the American Civil Liberties Union over the next four years to defend our constitution.

1/ Lyft has worked hard to create an inclusive, diverse and conscientious community where all our drivers and passengers feel welcome.

2/ Trump’s immigration ban is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values.

3/ We are donating $1,000,000 over the next four years to the ACLU to defend our constitution. https://t.co/0umGOlkhSx

In an effort to save face (and his company), Travis Kalanick took to Facebook to softly denounce Trump’s “unjust ban” and pledged to create a $3 million legal defense fund to help drivers with immigration and translation services.
