Leadership is what you do when no one is watching.
Montreal didn’t wait for the cameras. In the darkest nights — floodwaters high, hearts heavy — he showed up. And he’s still showing up today.

MERA CARES

After historic flooding devastated Milwaukee, local men formed a volunteer crew to clean up homes and support neighbors in need.

Led by Montreal Cain and Aziz Abdullah, the grassroots team stepped in when official help fell short, saying, “We’re not FEMA, we’re just brothers from Milwaukee.”

Their efforts brought hope to residents like Valerie Raspberry, who said, “Now I can breathe... I can see I’m gonna get to the end of the tunnel.”

“They thought we were FEMA. We’re just brothas that care.”
After finding his daughter’s grave submerged in floodwater, Montreal Cain didn’t retreat—he rallied. With prayer, grit, and a media stand turned water pump, he spent 18 hours helping neighbors recover from Milwaukee’s historic flood.
This is what community leadership looks like.🔗 Watch the full TMJ4 story
