As an African American born in 1935, Dewitt Brown was not only denied access to the polls until he was 30, but he also saw the Civil Rights Movement up close. “I've seen so much, and I’ve been denied so much. Now, I’m going to exercise my vote as long as I live.” This election season, Dewitt shares his story — and why he believes wholeheartedly that voting isn’t just a gift, it’s an obligation.

You all, give Dewitt some social media love. Like all drivers on Lyft, he's a hero. And if you live in LA, call a Lyft on voting day. If you're very lucky he'll drive you to the polls.
He was denied the right to vote. Today, he drives others to the polls

It’s an honor to be named one of Bay Area’s Most Influential Women in Business. I’m proud to be featured alongside so many extraordinary women today in a publication as prestigious as the San Francisco Business Times. The past year has been an amazing ride – setting the foundation for Lyft to continue to thrive – and there is so much opportunity ahead. A heartfelt thank you to the amazing women at Lyft who continue to inspire me every day.
