End Unfair Deactivations
Deactivations cost drivers our livelihoods — and our lives. Activate Respect is a nationwide campaign from an alliance of drivers and organizers around the country. Drivers from across the country are joining together to win new rules about when Uber can cut us off from our jobs. To succeed in our mission, we are demanding transparency in deactivation decisions, fairness through non-discriminatory treatment, and valid options available for appealing deactivations. We’ve won new laws and forced Uber to acknowledge safety issues, but we know we have more power when we fight together.
More app workers have been killed on the job in 2022 than in previous years, according to Murdered Behind the Wheel: An Escalating Crisis for App Drivers, a new report by Gig Workers Rising, Action Center on Race and the Economy and PowerSwitch Action.
Everyone — including people who work on apps like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart — should have a living wage, transparency on the job, safe conditions, and a voice in your work.
Gig corporations leave workers like you entirely on your own, grinding to make ends meet. You have to figure out the apps and their different algorithms, pay for your own gas, spend hours waiting for the next ride or batch. If you have a problem on the job, these corporations are nowhere to be found.
CEOs are making millions because of the work you do, while you are left struggling to pay the bills.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Everyone deserves to earn enough to build a good life and the freedom to have and enjoy time off the job.
These corporations can (and do) ignore individual drivers. But they can’t ignore us all.

You make millions for gig corporations. It’s time you get a fair share.
