From Moya and Yolo
In a flash of bold courage and brave vision Mia Mingus and Stacey Milbern began a journey of possibility thelikes of which the world… well at least we’d never seen. “..two queerdisabled diasporic Korean women of color in the process moving from theSouth to the Bay to create home and community with each other”?!
Whilesurely such a phenomena cannot be new to the universe, have YOU everheard of such an amazingly beautiful thing?!This radical act of loveand reclamation cannot be performed alone.The costs of moving fromcoast to coast is daunting for anyone, yet even more daunted whendealing with the realities of our able-bodied and inaccessible world.
Inan effort to lend our support to two of our favorite people we areworking to help them raise the $12,000 necessary to make their dream areality.Energized by the collective spirit that their move embodies, weare calling on our communities to support their vision by giving whatever you can give!
$12,000 is a lot of money but it’s the actual, for real, no frills, cost to get Mia and Stacey to the bay.
If you have other ideas (like you’ve got a moving truck or you and friends can build a ramp) please email us at totheothersideofdreaming@gmail.com
In radical love,
the Quirky Commune aka 2/3 or simply, Moya & Yolo
