    Sobre Nós

    OUR GOAL DECRIMINALIZE MENTAL ILLNESS AND ADVOCATE FOR MENTAL HEALTHCARE JUSTICE.

    2025 marks a turning point for The Miles Hall Foundation.​

    ​What began as a grassroots call for justice—born from grief, love, and determination—has grown into a powerful force for change.

    ​With an incredible level of community support, we’ve built an organization rooted in lived experience, driven by compassion, and committed to systemic transformation. Now, as we enter the sixth year since Miles was killed, we are building the capacity and power needed to make long-term, sustainable impact.

    ​Our Strategic Plan, summarized here, charts our next phase. Our goal is to grow a durable, effective organization that works to decriminalize mental illness and advance mental healthcare justice.

    We are strengthening the backbone of our mission: expanding our team and partnerships, solidifying our systems, and cultivating the leadership capacity necessary to deepen our reach and results. But we’re not building just to grow—we’re building to serve.

    We are building for those who are stigmatized and criminalized because of a mental health condition. For families navigating a fragmented and often harmful system. For communities that deserve care, not punishment.

    ​At the heart of this plan are four strategic priorities rooted in prevention, equity, and healing:

    • Promoting non-police crisis response programs that meet real community needs and reduce harm
    • Advocating for systems reform and public accountability to ensure culturally responsive mental healthcare is a right—not a privilege
    • Educating and mobilizing the public to shift narratives and equip people with tools for change
    • Standing with impacted families by amplifying their voices, sharing resources, and building collective power

    This work is urgent. The stakes are high.

    Across the country, people are calling for something better—and we are answering that call to end the criminalization of mental illness, especially for people of color, with clear vision, bold ideas, and an unwavering commitment.

    We invite you to join us.

    The path ahead will demand courage, collaboration, and sustained investment. But with Miles’ spirit guiding us—and this growing community beside us—we move forward with hope and conviction.

    WE BELIEVE IN:

    THE POWER OF CONNECTION

    • We build collective strength through aligned partnerships, shared leadership, and empowering people.

    CENTERING MARGINALIZED VOICES

    • We believe real change begins with those most impacted — they must lead the way.

    COLLECTIVE ACTION FOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE

    • We move beyond awareness to action, working to shift entrenched systems of power through community organizing, advocacy, education, and policy change.

    SUSTAINABILITY FOR LONG-TERM IMPACT

    • We build for the next generation — creating durable change, not just short-term results.
