Black gig workers are video sex 18calling out the empty gestures of solidarity and support from the companies they drive, deliver, and work for as so-called independent contractors as the Black Lives Matter movement gains momentum across the U.S.
Black workers affiliated with the group Gig Workers Rising penned an open letter to the heads of Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Postmates, Instacart and others. In the letter, gig workers flagged how actions like Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's announcement about Juneteenth (June 19) as a paid day off for corporate workers dismisses the very people the companies purport to support.
In the letter written by Lyft driver Cherri Murphy in Oakland, California, she laid out out how Black and brown gig workers are exploited, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, for the benefit of company executives and full-time employees.
"This fight is not only about police killings and terror — it is about every institution that exploits and abuses Black and brown people in this country," the letter reads. "When it comes to exploiting Black and brown people, you and your companies are experts."

She called for something tangible for the community: "If you are committed to Black and brown lives — prove it."
The letter continues with demands for the right to organize, a living wage, and benefits. For Juneteenth, gig workers don't have the option to take off a day to "stand up against racism" without sacrificing wages. Lyft is also observing the day as a company holiday — but not for drivers. The company is hosting a public online panel.

This comes after weeks of platitudes and tweets coming from tech CEOs, and now we're starting to see some action. But now, even that's falling short.
