Interview with Tandera Louie

Interview with Tandera Louie

Tandera Louie is a community organizer and preschool teacher in East Austin. In this interview, Tandera speaks about the unequal treatment of houseless folks in Austin as well as the wealth and resource gap that continues to grow due to capital investors and capital-produced gentrification. As a community organizer with Austin DSA, she often helps with canvassing initiatives. Although she finds canvassing essential work, she often faces anxiety and fear as a black woman approaching the homes of strangers in a highly segregated city. Tandera speaks about her personal abolition beliefs and reimagined versions of society sans state violence and surveillance. As she continues to fight for a just and caring community, she makes sure she has time to spend in nature as well as indulge in what brings her joy. This interview was recorded via Zoom on August 9, 2021 with interviewer Murphy Anne Carter and narrator Tandera Louie.
