From Lyft and Levi to Mozilla and Salesforce, see how Bay Area companies are planning on supporting employees in states where abortion is restricted or illegal.
On its company blog, ride-hailing company Lyft said it's committed to providing its employees with access to vital health care services. In addition to offering legal aid for driver's in state's like Texas and Oklahoma, where a driver can be sued for transporting someone to an abortion appointment. Furthermore, Lyft stated that its employee health plan provides reimbursement for abortions and travel costs for any employee who has to travel more than 100 miles to reach a provider.
"Women make up 58% of our global workforce, and in recent years, numerous employees have expressed to leadership their growing alarm over the rollback of all forms of reproductive care," the company wrote in a news release.
