Best Short-Haul Solidarity

Taxi Drivers Association of Austin

Representing one of the most precarious of local occupations, TDAA is a fledgling attempt to give the four-wheel cowpokes a voice at work, at City Hall, and on the streets. Although the mythology of hacking is steeped in urban romanticism, the reality is hardscrabble for small reward, and it may take years before the Austin drivers are sufficiently organized to earn the rewards and respect they deserve. With the help of the good folks at Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, they stood up and spoke up this year in defense of drivers' rights and livelihoods. May their long, hard fight be rewarded.
