MILPA is led by formerly incarcerated people and aligned minds. We cultivate next-generation leadership, social infrastructure, and indigenous fellowship. Our practices center cultural healing, public health, advocacy, and being a good relative.
“MILPA was started to carry out the ongoing intergenerational community work of Chicano-Indigenous elders.”
