About Us
Our Story
The Get Free body of work emerged in the summer of 2025, as the natural evolution of Miakoda’s previous work as the founder and director of Fierce Allies.
Fierce Allies was founded in 2009 as a network of diverse practitioners advancing equity and justice through relationship-based practices for change.
We were, and still are, catalyzed by the belief that building resilient relationships is the most important investment of resources for individuals and groups advancing ambitious change agendas. Over the years, informed by this belief, the Get Free (formerly Fierce Allies) suite of tools and practices have called forth and facilitated radical collaboration in hundreds of teams, coalitions, and organizations, often across seemingly insurmountable divides.
