ACB Announces Sessions with Uber

[Margie Donovan]

I am expressing my personal opinion. I think it is deplorable that ACB would inviting Uber to our convention knowing that the DOJ has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court re service dog discrimination. ACB also gets financial support for the convention from Uber. To me as a GDUI life member and as an ACB life member, I am quite unpleased with ACB on this topic. We should never invite any company to our conventions that have a long history of discrimination against our own members.

I would love to see the GDUI board write a letter to the ACB board over this topic. This is wrong!

Hi Margie! Deb VERSTeEG here from Sioux Falls South Dakota. I am between dogs right now and have used Lyft quite a bit here in South Dakota. But I have heard of them many many many times that people have been discriminated against with Uber and Lyft. If it were going to be a discussion of our difficulties in a chance to iron them out, it would be one thing but if it’s just an advertisement for Uber, it’s an entirely different thing.
