Last December, the Peace Center honored the community group Friends of Scott, Alexis and Taun Hall at our Annual Awards Dinner for their incredible community-based work and dedication to justice.
Following the Awards Dinner we made the natural decision to support one another and had been meeting regularly to see how the Center can best support their actions and movement. In honor of Miles Hall, FOSATH’s mission is to educate and advocate for systemic changes in Walnut Creek and surrounding communities with respect to law enforcement’s response to individuals living with mental health challenges. On June 2nd @ 5PM via Zoom, the Friends of Scott and Taun Hall group hosted a special event in his memory.
