Mia Mingus
Mia Mingus is a self-identified “queer physically disabled korean transracial and transnational adoptee raised in the Caribbean.” Mingus is a writer, educator, and community organizer for disability justice and transformative justice, whose work is based out of the Bay Area. Currently, Mia is a 2016 Just Beginnings Collaborative fellow funded for The Living Bridges Project, an anonymous story-collecting project documenting collective responses to child sexual abuse.
Mia is a founding and core-member of the Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective (BATJC), a local collective working to build and support transformative justice responses to child sexual abuse that do not rely on the state (i.e. police, prisons, the criminal legal system). She believes in prison abolition and urges all activists and organizers to critically and creatively think beyond the non-profit industrial complex.
