        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Uber said it will make changes to its ride-hailing app and Uber Eats delivery service to support black-owned businesses.</p><p>In an email to customers late Thursday, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Uber Eats will promote black-owned restaurants on its app, and that the service will not charge delivery fees to those restaurants &#8220;for the remainder of the year.&#8221;</p><p>Uber will also offer discounted rides to black-owned small businesses &#8220;who have been hit hard by COVID-19,&#8221; though it did not add how much of a discount would be given.</p><p>&#8220;I wish that the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others weren’t so violently cut short,&#8221; the 51-year-old CEO wrote. &#8220;I wish that institutional racism, and the police violence it gives rise to, didn’t cause their deaths.&#8221;</p><p>Khosrowshahi also pledged that Uber will continue to crack down on discrimination, harassment and racism on its platform, and will hold its users accountable &#8220;to these standards of basic respect and human decency.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I respectfully ask anyone not willing to abide by these rules to delete Uber,&#8221; he wrote.</p><p>Shares of Uber were up 3.5 percent early Friday afternoon, at $37.70.</p>]]></content:encoded>
