Uber's announcement is the latest effort among tech companies to support and honor the Black community. Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey announced last week that Juneteenth was a company holiday.
CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Uber would honor Juneteenth, a celebration of the abolition of slavery in the United States, a paid company holiday.In the United States, Election Day takes place on a Tuesday in November, making it difficult for some people to get to the ballot box because they have to work.
"To embrace the meaning of #Juneteenth this year, we're making it a paid day off. We encourage employees to spend it in a way that allows them to stand up against racism, whether that's by learning, participating in a community action, or reflecting on how to make change," Khosrowshahi said on Twitter.
