Two of the biggest ride share companies in the world have announced they would pay all of their drivers’ legal fees if they’re sued under Texas’ terrible anti-abortion laws. Lyft’s CEO Logan Green announced on Friday via Twitter that the company would “cover 100% of legal fees” if their drivers are sued under Texas’ SB 8 law. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi followed suit, quote tweeting Green’s post and saying that the company intends to “cover legal fees in the same way.” Lyft is putting their money where their mouth is too, and donating $1 million to Planned parenthood. TX SB8 threatens to punish drivers for getting people where they need to go— especially women exercising their right to choose.
