Every community experiences domestic violence and needs a safe place to turn for help. On this episode of “The Missing Peace,” we introduce you to We Are Here MKE, a diverse coalition of culturally-sensitive organizations throughout Milwaukee that are on the frontlines of this crisis. They serve the city’s Black, Hispanic, indigenous, Muslim, Hmong and LGBTQ+ residents. Their tailor-made approach helps overcome language barriers, citizenship status and mistrust of law enforcement among other factors that may prevent a victim from seeking help.
