Underwater City Project
Underwater City Zine 1: Searching for the Most Accessible City in Canada details Louw's travels to different cities in Canada. The zine is a reflection on living with limited mobility and the accessibility of various cities. The zine is composed of journals and conversations with other disabled people. The name is inspired by Louw's idea that an underwater city would be an accessible utopia for all people.[2]
Challenging the Société de transport de Montréal
Louw has been vocal about ablecentrist practices of the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). She has filed a complaint for getting caught in a turnstile while in a wheelchair and also filed a complaint when a bus driver refused to lower the bus ramp for her.[3][4] Louw demanded answers, supported by other activists, for the second incident at an STM monthly meeting when she pointed out that an early STM report said that ramps only work half the time.[5]
