关于我们

From the Hall Family: On June 2nd 2019, our beautiful son Miles Hall was shot and killed by the Walnut Creek Police. Because our mental health system is deeply flawed and doesn’t support families whose adult children have mental illness, we had no option but to turn to the police to get Miles help when he was in crisis. We sought out guidance about how to maneuver through this system. We were strategic and deliberate in our efforts to protect and support Miles. After working with the police for two years to protect Miles during his mental health episodes, the Walnut Creek police responded to our call for help on June 2nd with lethal force. On a sunny afternoon in our quiet neighborhood, the Walnut Creek Police shot and killed Miles within a block from our home before making any efforts to de-escalate the situation. Miles was ill. He was not a criminal. Miles should be alive today. Since his death in June 2019, we have been fighting to create change and protect families from loss like ours. We have recently created the Miles Hall Foundation to continue and expand our work. We are all connected to someone who is suffering from mental illness. And we all have the power to create change to protect and support them. We ask you to work with us to create desperately needed change. We cannot do this work without you. To jumpstart our foundation, please contribute ANY amount to support our work. Consider contributing in honor of the person or persons you’d like to protect. We will be outlining specific projects in the coming months and you’ll be the first to be notified. Thank you so much for your generosity. With your donation, you will bless our family’s work and Miles’ legacy. With your help, we are without doubt that Miles’ death will not be in vain.

    Still I Rise By Maya Angelou You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? ’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard ’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history’s shame I rise Up from a past that’s rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I ris I rise. D.C. Mayor Removes Black Lives Matter Mural to Save City Funding https://lnkd.in/gJX3JggW
