“Your bravery and intelligence have provided a renewed and much-needed hope for our future. We are incredibly grateful for the example you are setting,” Lyft Co-Founders John Zimmer and Logan Green said in a statement.

Charlotte is one of the 50 cities where free Lyft rides will be offered.

Lyft said it partnered with organizers "to ensure that our commitment of up to $1.5 million in free rides will have the most impact on their efforts — and yours."

How it works

  • If you are attending a march, claim your free ride by RSVPing to the rally at www.marchforourlives.com/events.
  • On Friday, March 23, ride codes will be distributed to those who have RSVP’d through www.marchforourlives.com/events.
  • If you aren’t able to RSVP, ride codes to these marches will be available at www.lyft.com/MFOL starting Saturday morning.
  • Once you have received a code, enter it in the ‘promos’ tab of your Lyft app.

Reminders

  • For the code to work, you must enter the official March for Our Lives rallypoint as your destination. You’ll find rallypoint details in your app once you enter your code in the ‘promos’ tab.
  • Anyone riding who is under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult.
  • We are only able to support free rides up to $1.5 million, so it’s important to RSVP ahead of time to get a code before that commitment is met.
