Smiles Davis,  
Let me start by saying I wish I never had to send this email.  
I wish that the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others weren’t  
so violently cut short.  
I wish that institutional racism, and the police violence it gives rise to,  
didn’t cause their deaths.  
I wish that all members of our Black community felt safe enough to move  
around their cities without fear.  
I wish that I didn’t have to try to find the words to explain all  
of this to my two young sons.  
But I’ve been given hope this week by hundreds of thousands of peaceful protestors demanding  
change. I am committed to being part of that change.  
As a company, we believe that everyone has the right to move freely, no matter where they live or  
the color of their skin.  
We’re proud of how Uber has helped  
link  
improve transportation equity  
over the  
last decade.  
But the reality remains that Black Americans often don’t feel safe to move freely in  
many places around our country. And they still face enormous barriers that others do not.  
This is a reality we should not perpetuate or accept. We must do better.  
We know there is no easy solution to the problems we have faced for centuries.  
We also know that we  
need to devote our time, energy and resources toward making a difference.  
That’s why we’re making a  
number of commitments that we will uphold not just this week, but for years to come:

We are committed to driving lasting change through criminal justice reform.  
On Sunday, we

announced  
  
a $1 million donation to the  
link  
Equal Justice Initiative  
and  
link  
Center for Policing Equity  
to support  
their important work in making racial justice in America more than just a promise.  
bullet  
We are committed to creating a community that treats everyone equally and with dignity.  
We do not  
tolerate discrimination, harrassment or racism on our platform, as outlined in our

Guidelines  
dot  We will hold everyone who uses Uber accountable to these standards of basic respect and  
human decency. I respectfully ask anyone not willing to abide by these rules to delete Uber.  
bullet  
We are committed to supporting the Black community.  
As a starting point, we will use Uber Eats to  
link  
promote Black owned restaurants  
while making it easier for you to support them, with no delivery  
fees for the remainder of the year.  
And in the coming weeks, we will offer discounted rides to  
Black owned small businesses, who have been hit hard by COVID 19, to help in their recovery.  
bullet  
We are committed to making Uber a diverse and inclusive place for people of color to work and  
thrive.  
While we have more work to do, we have  
link  
tied our senior executives’ pay  
to measurable  
progress on our diversity goals, and will continue to  
link  
publish data  
on our workforce so the public  
can hold us accountable.  
We’re also committed to expanding opportunities for drivers and delivery  
people, including through  
link  
education opportunities  
and  
link  
skills training  
dot

We know this isn’t enough. It won’t be enough until we see true racial justice.  
But we plan to work  
day in and day out to improve, learn, and grow as a company.  
Lastly, let me speak clearly and unequivocally: Black Lives Matter.
