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.

With the U.S. 2024 Election only a couple weeks away, dive into the data on Americans' voting habits in this week's Rev newsletter. Plus, a Lyft discount code for Election Day, a look at how transportation access impacts voting, and personal stories from drivers and first time voters. 

"The way we talk about our purpose is to serve and connect. We serve our riders and drivers, we want to be the best service we can be. And we connect people to the people they love, the places they love, to [their] work." - David Risher Read the exclusive San Francisco Business Times interview with Lyft's CEO here: https://lnkd.in/dYtzhxKA
