Several hundred people with blindness and low vision and their allies protested outside the San Francisco headquarters of Uber and Lyft Tuesday accusing the rideshare companies of illegally denying rides to blind people and their service animals, and stigmatizing would-be passengers.

Organizers with the National Federation of the Blind, a Baltimore-based group working to advance the lives of blind people, said the rideshare rallies are meant to draw attention to the companies’ failure to stop discrimination against those who are blind, particularly those accompanied by guide dogs, which violates state and federal law and the companies’ own stated policies.
