Miles For Justice - Little Free Libraries

Thank you for your interest in the Miles For Justice campaign and thank you in advance for your support. I run a 5k a day as a silent protest of systemic and systematic discrimination and have done so for 265+ days in a row. The goal of Miles For Justice III is to raise $10,000 to bring 10 Little Free Libraries filled with books that feature POC authors and POC characters into communities with limited book access. Each library will be placed in a highly visible location with ample foot traffic that’s easily accessible for all members of the community.

Each library will cost approximately $500 to purchase, register, plant, and $500 will go toward the books. It is our goal to purchase 25 brand new books from local independent bookstores to stock each Little Free Library. Each of the 10 libraries will be dedicated to an individual who lost their life prematurely by a tragic act of totally unneeded violence (i.e. Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, Elijah McClain, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Casey Goodson Jr, and the list goes on and on).

The Miles For Justice 5k (3.1 miles) streak is at 265 (& counting) days in a row and that will continue throughout this campaign and on toward 365 consecutive days. My weekly mileage has been about 25 miles per week all of 2020 and now I’m bumping up to 40-50 miles per week to train for a 10km race this summer. Barring injury I expect to run approximately 400 miles over the 70-day Miles For Justice III campaign which will end on March 13, 2021. You can make a donation based on the number of miles run or a flat donation, the choice is yours.

March 13th will be the one year anniversary of Breonna Taylor’s murder at the hands of LMPD and still no one has been held accountable for her death. It will also be the one year anniversary of the world shut down due to the coronavirus covid-19. This installment of Miles For Justice will leave a lasting impact on our communities, expanding book access with 10 Little Free Libraries. Each library will feature books representative of the people who live in the community. Please pledge a donation and also please tell someone else about Miles For Justice III. #MFJ3
