“Since Miles death in June of 2019, the Hall family has worked tirelessly to advocate for non-police response to calls for help when someone is in a mental health emergency.
Currently, the “Miles Hall Lifeline Act” – Assembly Bill 988 is making its way through the California legislature to fund an alternative to 911 for calls for help that do not need a police response. The #MilesHallLifelineAct#AB988 will save lives and decriminalize individuals who need help, not handcuffs.
With the apparent decision NOT to charge the officers who killed Miles with a crime, the Contra Costa County DA’s office has reinforced the dangerous and stigmatizing misperception that those living with mental illness, especially if they are people of color, are the criminals and that violence and gun fire are appropriate responses to their calls for help. That is wrong and runs counter to facts. The Hall family is calling on the California Attorney General and the US Department of Justice to do their own investigation into the killing of Miles Hall. Our streets are less safe today because no one has been held accountable for Miles’ death. That can not stand.
CALL TO ACTION TODAY 
Please show up TODAY, FRIDAY MAY 7th in front of Walnut Creek City Hall at 12:30 PM to support the Hall family and learn about next steps we can take together to hold police accountable and make our communities safe for everyone. Say his name! Miles Hall!
