Miles of Freedom: Empowering Lives After Incarceration
Miles of Freedom was initially established after the full exoneration of Richard Miles in 2012, with Mr. Miles and a very small group of dedicated volunteers. Miles of Freedom continues its mission to support individuals, families, and communities impacted by incarceration. We strongly believe that successful reintegration not only assists individuals and families touched by the criminal justice system, but society as a whole.
The Aubrey Jones Legacy Fund
In 2023, Miles of Freedom introduced the Aubrey Jones Legacy Fund, named in honor of our Co-Founder, Mr. Aubrey Jones. This designated fund directly addresses the urgent needs of individuals who struggle to secure essentials or find themselves in crisis.
The Struggle for Essentials
Millions of Americans live just one paycheck away from financial hardship. Rising prices exacerbate the situation, particularly for those already living in poverty. Miles of Freedom tirelessly provides services to empower clients, helping them lead quality lives despite the hardships they face. But what happens when basic necessities become unattainable?
Lending a Hand Up
Recognizing these challenges, Miles of Freedom channels 100% of the funds allocated to the Aubrey Jones Legacy Fund directly into clients’ immediate needs. Your generous contributions enable us to purchase school uniforms and supplies for families, provide work boots and uniforms to those entering the workforce, and cover the costs of essential government documents. Every donation makes a tangible impact on someone’s life.
Join us in supporting the Aubrey Jones Legacy Fund. Together, we can provide a lifeline to those facing adversity, ensuring that no one is left behind. 🤝
To empower, equip and educate individuals, families and communities impacted by Incarceration
Our Needs
Miles of Freedom's current needs at this time are:
1. Contributions to the Aubrey Jones Legacy Fund
2. General operating funds to continue the mission
MOF will work to help community members and stakeholders understand and dismantle the impact of race and racism in the criminal legal system and the re-entry process. MOF will do this through narrative change that articulates and acknowledges disparities, models empathy, and articulates the issue of criminal injustice through a racial equity lens.
