Lyft co-founders John Zimmer and Logan Green are sharing their support for the March For Our Lives rally by offering free rides on March 24. The transportation company co-founders wrote a letter to the organizers stating that they were inspired.

“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,” they wrote.

Now attendees will be able to request free Lyft rides to the marches happening in 50 cities around the country.

The march is being led by student organizers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Last month, students at the high school experienced one of the nation’s deadliest school massacres where 17 people were killed.

On Saturday March 24, students and supporters around the country will come together for the anti-gun rally. Organizers and supporters are demanding that their lives and safety become a priority.

Attendees must claim their free ride by RSVPing to the rally at www.marchforourlives.com/events. On Friday, March 23, the company will distribute ride codes to those who have RSVP’d.

If anyone isn’t able to RSVP, ride codes to the marches will be available at www.lyft.com/MFOL starting Saturday morning.

All ride codes must be entered in the ‘promos’ tab of your Lyft app.

Lyft released the following important reminders:

1 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.

2 Anyone riding who is under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult.

3 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.
