About Millennial Activists United: MAU was formed by three young women in the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown's killing in Ferguson. MAU build grassroots power and leadership to create strong, sustainable communities. We believe Black is beautiful and knowledge is power. We demand accountability for victims of social injustice in Ferguson, across America and the world. We are committed to learning strategy and tactics from the generation before us while simultaneously carving our own millennial voice and style for the unique challenges of a so-called post-racial America. We're an educated, funny, creative, passionate crew putting much of our regular lives on hold to hunt down justice. We're dope, we're daring and we're not going anywhere anytime soon.
