Tea with the People, the podcast, is a series of conversations with innovative leaders who participate in our democracy by responding to racial injustices and inequities in the time of COVID-19. We engage leaders who work creatively to activate and support their communities. Through this podcast, we hope to inspire others to do the same.

    "Unlearning Oppression, Relearning Abundance" with Sammie Ablaza Wills

    In response to the pandemic and the resurgence of anti-Asian racism, APIENC, an organization that builds queer and transgender Asian and Pacific Islander power, set up phone trees and virtual healing circles to check in with its most vulnerable members. We speak with Sammie Ablaza Wills, director of APIENC, about their approach to unlearning oppression and relearning abundance, and why it's so much better (and sustainable) to do the work with your friends.

We speak to Yajaira Saavedra, an activist and one of the owners, about the uphill battles being working class and without status and about the power of community and mutual aid in times of crisis.
