Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Speaks Out Against President Trump’s Immigration Orders
Travis Kalanick, CEO of the transportation network company Uber, has spoken out against U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order against immigrants and refugees. Many organizations and groups have protested President Trump’s decision to sign the executive order on Friday, temporarily barring immigrants (from seven Muslim countries) and refugees from entering the country. President Trump said that this particular order was designed to prohibit radical terrorists from entering the United States. However, the decision also consequently puts a temporary blanket ban for any refugee trying to enter the United States of America. Travis Kalanick sent an email to all Uber employees.
“While every government has their own immigration controls, allowing people from all around the world to come here and make America their home has largely been the U.S.’s policy since its founding. That means this ban will impact many innocent people—an issue that I will raise this coming Friday when I go to Washington for President Trump’s first business advisory group meeting.”
The Uber CEO shared the email, titled “Standing up for what’s right,” that he had sent to all Uber employees, on Facebook.
Travis has made plans to head to Washington, DC on Friday to meet with President Trump so that he can directly discuss the matter.
Travis also announced that the company had already contacted over a dozen employees who would be affected by this order. He also urged other drivers who feel they could be affected in any way to get in contact with the company.
