On April 29, 2021, Local Driver Co-op and Direct Co-ops launched the Caravan of Courage, to raise awareness about the plight of gig workers and introduce our solution. The Caravan was joined by drivers, including rideshare, taxi, limousine, delivery courier and truck drivers, as well as small business owners, hitting the streets in Toronto and San Francisco, calling on all drivers and small businesses to unite through the Direct Initiative to secure their future in the new economy.
