BRASS Inc. gets a new Mobile Advocacy Unit

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Through partnership with Camping World and a $68,000 grant from the Women’s Fund, The Barren River Area Safe Space, also known as BRASS Inc., is going mobile.

The organization is launching its mobile advocacy unit that will be dedicated to bringing resources like legal advocacy and so much more to people facing domestic violence.

Tori Henninger, the CEO of BRASS, tells us, “We end up meeting people in public spaces, and our conversations are not meant for public consumption. And so being able to physically and metaphorically and psychologically meet a person where they are, and so being able to physically and metaphorically and psychologically meet a person where they are.”

The impact that BRASS has across the region covers 4 thousand miles, reaching ten counties in Kentucky, and providing transportation could help them expand their service.

Not only is BRASS  providing resources to the community that they serve through their new mobile advocacy unit, but they’re also bringing those resources directly to the most vulnerable.

Tori also says, “To be able to have conversations in private to allow for access to information without the transportation barriers, without the fear of being observed and watched and overheard is just instrumental.”

To celebrate this milestone, BRASS plans to partner with local chambers of commerce and host a ribbon-cutting in every county that it serves.
