Israel is enacting the next phase of its genocide of the Palestinian people: forced famine.
We cannot watch this man-made famine and genocide continue without raising our voices in opposition.
Call Congress and tell your reps to demand our government stop backing Israel’s campaign of starvation.

We’re here today because Uber pioneered how to use AI to manipulate how much it pays drivers, and other corporations are already following suit.
We’re seeing it in healthcare, retail, and engineering — this is about the future and dignity of ALL workers.

In our survey of over 2,500 drivers, 78% said that driving for Uber feels like gambling—if a good fare comes up, that might keep us going. But more often than not, the pay is unpredictable day to day.
Work shouldn’t be a gamble, and driver pay shouldn’t be determined by AI.

Drivers’ survey responses suggest that Uber’s AI-driven pay traps them in a vicious cycle.
73% of drivers who declined low-fare rides in the past three months report that the app either slowed down their rides or their earnings went down because the app continued to offer them low-fare rides.
