Just received an email from Meghan Joyce at Uber that read as follows:
Dear XXXX,
We were horrified by the neo-Nazi demonstration that took place in Charlottesville, which resulted in the loss of life of a young woman as well as two Virginia State Troopers responding to the protest. There is simply no place for this type of bigotry, discrimination, and hate.
As the country braces for more white supremacist demonstrations, we wanted to let you know what we are doing for the Uber community:
On behalf of all of us at Uber,

I personally dislike corporate activism and moral sanctimony but find it especially lol coming from a company with as sordid a culture as Uber. I don't show any emails from Meghan last summer when BLM was jumping the shark.

As the country braces for more white supremacist demonstrations, we wanted to let you know what we are doing for the Uber community:
- We will act swiftly and decisively to uphold our Community Guidelines, including our policy against discrimination of any kind—this includes banning people from the app.
- 24/7 in-app support is available to answer questions and address concerns. You always have the right to end your trip if you feel uncomfortable or disrespected.
