Join Our Historic Caravan For Driver Rights
Three Day Caravan For AB5 & A Union
Mobile Workers Alliance is hitting the road! From August 26-28, hundreds of MWA members will be taking their cars across California in a historic motor pilgrimage for driver rights.
The journey is inspired by the United Farm Workers 1966 pilgrimage from Delano to Sacramento, led by Cesar Chavez. Like gig workers in California, farm workers were thought to be impossible to organize and their exploitation was taken as a given by the public at large. The UFW proved the doubters wrong and we will too.
Our caravan will begin in Los Angeles and wind through Delano, Fresno, San Francisco and Oakland, with a final stop in Sacramento, where we will hold a first-of-its-kind drivers congress with Uber and Lyft drivers from across the state. We’ll celebrate our victories, deepen our bonds from LA to the Bay and beyond, and plan our next steps for winning a union and the rights and benefits that we deserve.
Along the way, we’ll meet other drivers, union members, politicians and other allies in our fight and raise awareness of our struggle on California’s highways, in the heart of the tech sector and at the capitol.

Question if we dont have a vehicle..can we still go to participate?
Yes!
I have been driving for Lyft for a short time and have just signed up for Uber. I not familiar with what this movement is trying to accomplish. It sounds like fair wages and benefits if I’m correct.
Can someone send me some information on this cause?
For sure! If you fill out the contact form here: https://cagigunion.org/join-the-movement/ we’ll give you a call!
