When Ceresa Cohran was deactivated from Uber, it lost her her car and nearly her home. Our ordinance will empower rideshare drivers like her to fight back unfair deactivations, which routinely ban drivers without any explanation or opportunity to appeal. https://ow.ly/utUk50VkksJ

We’re leading the fight to win real victories for people and the planet.
关于我们
The People’s Lobby is a membership-driven organization of people across the Chicago region that work together to build widespread support for public policies and candidates – including people from our communities – that put racial and gender justice and the needs of people and the planet before the interests of big corporations and the very rich. We train leaders to build bases in our communities, organize support for progressive legislation, endorse candidates and take direct action to pressure elected officials and other powerful people to put the interests of people and the planet first. Our membership spans the greater Chicago area, from the south suburbs through the north shore and northwest suburbs. On campuses across Chicago, our student leaders with Chicago Student Action organize for racial, economic, and gender justice at their universities and beyond. Our Faith Liberation Movement is a collective of clergy and people of faith seeking to transform our economy and society so that justice reigns, rather than the dominant values of greed and individualism. The time and financial contributions of our members give The People’s Lobby the independence to set our own agenda. Our leadership is comprised of people of all ages, from college students to retirees, who give their time, energy and a financial contribution within their means.

We want a fair, transparent deactivation process for the thousands of rideshare drivers who've been "fired by app" in Chicago. Deactivations can lose drivers their livelihoods, but a new ordinance could stop this, as told by NBC Chicago and DePaul's Center for Journalism Integrity and Excellence. https://lnkd.in/gJskqENZ

Rideshare drivers from across Illinois are demanding their right to their own representation—along with better pay and working conditions. We're organizing with Local 1 Seiu, IAMAW Automobile Mechanics Local 701, and us to fight for drivers’ legal pathway to form a union! Uber and Lyft are making billions, but the rideshare workers struggling to make ends meet are the ones left out of their profit-maximizing equations. We’re uniting to pass a city ordinance raising pay, improving working conditions, and creating a pathway to unionize. If you're a rideshare worker, the time to organize is now!
