I NEED to do something, and I intend on doing this lone wolf or y'all can join me.
GOAL: To raise awareness to DRIVERS that they are losing money, and to slander UBER for what they are doing to drivers across America.
I already quit, so I have nothing to lose. I'm going to drive around a specific route from 8pm-2am through Washington, Downtown, Midtown, Montrose, and Rice Village (see exact route at the bottom of this post). We can form a line, or we can split off. It'll be hard to keep a cortege going through red lights, but if you stick with the route, we'll be able to get noticed.
If you're at a red light, talk to people. See another driver? Convince them to join. Have window paint on hand to write on their windows (at THEIR discretion, of course) and direct them to this thread to find out the route. Need to use the restroom? Feel free to deviate from the route then jump back in.
My red 2014 Chevy Impala LTZ will be decorated with this on the back window:
(Sorry, that "Worst Con Since Enron" was very clever. Props to tripAces for coining it!)
Starting at 8PM, I will start ON Washington @ Shepherd at the El Rey lot and head east down Washington. My goal is to get other drivers' attention and talk with them and have them join in my rolling picket line. Here is the route I will take:
1. East on Washington → Franklin

This is happening. Now, who's in?
