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.

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.

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.
