Uber wants its riders to reflect on gun violence, and it’s not being subtle about it at all.
A day after five police officers were gunned down in Dallas, ride hailing company Uber added a message to its app Friday encouraging users to reflect on recent gun violence.
The message appeared when users opened the app, and stated that “our hearts go out to the victims of this week’s terrible gun violence.”
“As we move around our cities this weekend, let’s take a moment to think about what we can do to help,” the message concluded.
Uber launched the message a day after five police officers were killed and seven others wounded by a sniper at a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas. Two civilians were also wounded in the shooting, and the protest itself was sparked after two black men were killed this week in officer-involved shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota.
Uber also changed the icons of Uber X cars to peace symbols.

So how do YOU feel about this, /pol/? Personally I think more companies should be taking this kind of positive approach to solving social issues. Big thumbs up!

>Uber driver with CCW saves countless people from mass shooter
>Uber's response is to ban CCW
That's all you really need to know about that company
“'As we move around our cities this weekend, let’s take a moment to think about what we can do to help,' the message concluded."
Well, /pol/? What can YOU personally do to help combat gun violence? We all need to be thinking about this sort of thing in these trying times.

Is being an Uber driver worth it if I've got nothing else going on?

This. I carry my gun regardless when I drive for Uber.
So glad they got rid of the big scary cars they used to have as icons. These peace signs are so much less threatening, now I can Uber in absolute safety.

This is the message you're greeted with upon entering the app...
This is why I still ride in taxis.
Cab companies don't try to cram their political agenda down my throat.
