What a great idea! Start a drivers co-op to replace Uber and Lyft. I bet it's going to do amazingly well. Thanks for posting, Hamilton.

Love this and love the easy ways to help out. I've been thinking about how to move some of my savings to more ethical investments and funding co-ops sounds like a good way to do it!

Love this movement! I’d love to learn more about the differences in your experiences between unionizing against capitalists vs. creating a worker-owned coop from the start.

Lyft sent an email out on the 11th stating that the new Minneapolis exit date (cough cough) is July 1, just FYI. (Happy to forward it, if interested.)

Thank you for this. Def grabbing the app before I got to NYC this summer.
