Denver residents have rallied to support a growing population of new immigrants, providing shelter, clothing, and hope to those seeking a new start.
On this edition of A Public Affair, KGNU’s Alexis Kenyon spoke with Cindy Miller, a Broomfield resident and mother who has been hosting groups of new immigrants at her home for more than a year; Heidi Henkel, a Broomfield City Council person and executive director of the Broomfield Resettlement Task Force; Tracy Di Lorenzo, an advocate for the migrant newcomer and traditionally unhoused communities; and Amy Beck, a member of Together Denver, working with the new immigrant population and encampments. The group discussed their experiences and efforts in supporting the influx of new immigrants in the Denver metro area, grassroots mobilization efforts, and the need for broader support from surrounding communities and the federal government.
