It’s crazy to me that workers in the US need permission to organize and coordinate actions.

Thanks to hobby lobby that isn't sarcasm it's the legal and literal truth.

I thought Uber/Lyft was 1099 employees (Independent Contractors)? I don’t know of any 1099s that received any medical benefits unless they pay for themselves.

If you want good pictures of protest signs have the protesters walking south when you face north (in northern latitudes). Or walking east in the morning when you face west. Near the equator at noon you're screwed, do whateves.
