The ride-sharing company Lyft has pledged to donate a million dollars to the ACLU in response to President Donald Trump’s immigration ban.

In a letter emailed to customers early Sunday morning, Lyft co-founders John Zimmer and Logan Green announced their decision to donate money to help “defend our constitution.”

“Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values,” the co-founders wrote.

Lyft’s rival Uber also announced that it will help compensate its drivers who might be stranded overseas due to the travel ban.

1. Goodbye Uber. Hello Lyft!

3. No kidding.

Uber's constant ads recruiting drivers annoy me to no end. This is one more reason to use Lyft as an alternative to cabs.

2. Outstanding! We've given some too.

I encourage everyone to do what you can for the ACLU. This is going to be a long, hard slog.
