About
Because Driver Advocacy Matters

Rideshare drivers are the backbone of the gig economy, yet most earn below minimum wage after expenses like rental fees, gas, maintenance, depreciation, and unpaid waiting time, trapping them in financial struggle despite working full-time hours. Rideshare101.org exists to expose these hidden realities, advocate for fair pay and protections, and equip drivers with the knowledge and tools to fight back and earn a true living wage.

Collaboration

We believe in growing together through teamwork and shared purpose.

OUR TOP PRIORITY

Guaranteed Minimum Wage

We are fighting for a binding law that guarantees every Portland rideshare driver earns at least Oregon minimum wage ($15.95–$16.70/hr in the metro area) after vehicle expenses and before tips. No more $6–$8/hour after gas, insurance, and wear-and-tear. Tips stay 100% yours on top.

Turning Riders into Our Strongest Allies

Customers don’t realize their $2 tax and low fares are starving drivers. We give riders simple tools to fight alongside us: Turning Riders into Our Strongest Allies Every signature, donation, and piece of swag pays for the organizing, legal pressure, and rider-education campaign that finally gets drivers paid fairly.
