📍 IDG Community Visit — South Jamaica
We had our first community visit in South Jamaica, meeting with local drivers and having important conversations about the future of our industry.
A special thank you to our talented trilingual organizer, Bimal Ghale, for connecting with drivers and helping lead the conversation about the importance of union, solidarity, and unity among drivers. 🤝
When drivers come together, we have a stronger voice and more power to fight for better working conditions, fair treatment, and a better future for everyone.
