Kawter came to IDG NJ offices because Uber deactivated her Uber account for no good reason. After many back and forth conversations between IDG organizer and Uber support, Uber reactivated her account acknowledging there was nothing done wrong by Kawter. Now, Kawter can go to work and start earning to take care of her bills and her family.
Each time, IDG helps a ride-share driver to get their account reactivated, it is such a great rewarding feeling as an organizer.

Gas prices and driver costs keep rising, but Uber and Lyft are not stepping up.
Drivers deserve fair pay that reflects the real cost of doing this work.

Driverless cars are moving closer to New Jersey.
TAPinto reports that New Jersey lawmakers advanced a bill to create a three-year autonomous vehicle testing pilot at secure, non-public locations.
But New Jersey’s crowded roads, busy airports, dense neighborhoods, and complex traffic conditions are no place for Big Tech’s driverless car experiment.
IDG is pushing back against Waymo and fighting nationally to protect public safety, good driver jobs, and communities from being used as testing grounds.
