I was introduced to Peaceful Tomorrows in 2020 where I joined based off of my concerns about the human rights abuses and complexities of the pretrial hearings at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center.  On 9/11, I lost my father FF Douglas C. Miller. As a “9/11 kid” I always felt alone in my calls for peace and concerns for injustice – that both I experienced and people around the world experienced due to the absence of rule of law after 9/11.

​

On my own journey of healing and understanding I have studied the Middle East, and North Africa, Islam, and terrorism. My education helped show me that I wanted to spread messages of forgiveness, and understanding, emphasizing that the terrible attacks were the actions of few, not the many. I wanted to speak out against the human rights abuses being carried out in the name of our loved ones without our consent.

​

Peaceful Tomorrows has helped to shape me in the few years I have been a member of the organization. I have been to the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center twice, and plan to go more. I have been able to advocate for Guantanamo’s closure and participate on panel discussions with my dear friend and former innocent prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, Mohamedou Ould Salahi. I have worked as a Rule of Law Fellow, and most recently I’m taking on the position of the Project Director for the organization. I am privileged to surround myself with individuals who have kind hearts and strong minds – all dedicated to promoting peace and understanding in the face of a terrible tragedy.
