John,

Today, Color Of Change launches our “Fair Pay, Fair Price” campaign, aimed at combating computer systems that underpay app-based Black workers and upcharge Black customers.

The same services — Uber, DoorDash, Lyft — pay one driver $20 and might only pay another $12. The difference? Hidden algorithms that discriminate based on who you are and where you live. These algorithms disproportionately impact Black workers. Black people make up 23% of app-based workers - nearly double their representation in the overall workforce - yet consistently earn less for identical work.1

That’s why Color Of Change has endorsed the Empowering App-Based Workers Act, a bill that will:

1. Force companies to reveal how corporations use computers to determine pay.
2. Guarantee workers at least 75% of what customers pay.
3. Ban deceptive compensation practices.

This act aligns with Color Of Change’s campaign by demanding fair pay protections for app-based workers and calling for accountability for companies that perpetuate wage discrimination.

As our Executive Director, Portia Allen-Kyle said: “At a time when Black working people and Black women specifically are experiencing skyrocketing unemployment, we understand the importance of standing up to Big Tech and industries attempting to automate us out of participation in our economy.”

This is what our Fair Pay, Fair Price campaign is fighting against.

For too long, tech companies have hidden behind computers to discriminate against us. Through our Fair Pay, Fair Price campaign, we're:

1. Collecting stories from affected workers.
2. Building a coalition to demand corporate transparency.
3. Pushing for legislation that protects ALL workers.

John, algorithmic wage discrimination is the new frontier of economic injustice. But together, we can stop it.

Join Color Of Change's Fair Pay, Fair Price campaign. Take action now.

Until justice is real,
The Color Of Change Team

P.S. - This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more ways to support the Fair Pay, Fair Price campaign, including sharing your story if you're an app-based worker.
