ALT Statement on DOJ Lawsuit Vs Uber I commend the Department of Justice for recognizing that these are not isolated incidents, but evidence of a widespread civil rights failure. When companies like Uber consistently fail to comply with the law, it is disabled riders who are left behind. This lawsuit underscores a longstanding pattern that people with disabilities have called out for years, often at great personal and emotional cost, only to be met with automated responses and institutional inaction. 
As an individual who relies on a professionally trained service dog from Canine Companions, I understand what meaningful access should entail. No one should be forced to choose between their mobility and their legal rights. This case represents a critical opportunity to move beyond performative awareness and toward lasting accountability.
