Hello all, I know most of you or some of you that are on these list, have guide dogs and have used Uber or Lyft and have had issues. And I think it's only appropriate to spread the word about what the national Association of guide dog users are doing. So please read the message below to find out more information.

Subject: [BlindTlk] One-Minute-Video Project for Lyft and Uber denials
Date: March 9, 2022 at 8:22:37 PM CST
Hello everyone, please share this wherever appropriate.
The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU), a division of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), is collecting stories from handlers who have been denied rides from Lyft and Uber drivers in video form from October 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. Our goal is to put these videos together to present to the individual rideshare companies to make them aware that blind people with legitimate guide dogs and other service animals are still getting denied by drivers all over the country. You do not have to be a member of the NFB or NAGDU to submit a video. We ask that the videos are filmed after a denial occurs, not during. Videos should be no longer than one minute in length and should describe who you are and the impact of the denial. I.E. did you miss a doctor¡¯s appointment or were you late to pick up your child from daycare? By submitting a video, you are giving us permission to share your information with Lyft and/or Uber. Please contact the NAGDU board of directors at (346) 439-7444 or
board@... if you have any questions or to submit your video.
