On June 2, 2019, 23-year-old #MilesHall experienced a psychotic episode.

Scared for his safety, his family called the Walnut Creek Police. But rather than helping Miles, police murdered him.

Miles& #39; mother is now fighting for AB 2054 to remove police from mental health response.
AB 2054—or the #CRISESAct—allocates $10M to fund a dozen pilot programs of non-police responders across the state.

These unarmed first responders would answer mental illness, homelessness, natural disaster, and domestic violence calls, keeping cops AWAY from vulnerable people.
The #CRISESAct is common sense. Police themselves have long said that they& #39;re ill-equipped to respond to mental health crises.

In Sacramento, LA, Berkeley, and Stockton organizations such as @APTPaction successfully provide community-based care to people in crisis.
With your help, the #CRISESAct has a real chance of passing.

Money is tight right now, which is why it& #39;s CRITICAL that you contact your Senator and tell them to prioritize removing cops from mental health response.
