Miyela would be unable to work were it not for the people who share thier knowlwdge, skill, art, talent with is.
We rely on people helping us make this movement possible. at the heart of our values is the idea that people can. each day we do our work someone steps up and prooves to us that power and the willingness to make this country work lies here with us.
we can never show enough how grateful we are to all of you. the best i can do is to take what you share and make sure it gets put to good use in making the kind of world you would like to see. we can not be objective about our feelings towards these people as their contributions have been personal and real to us.
those we have not officially named here, know that we know who you are and will update this soon, or you can remind us by adding to the post.
