On Monday, May 23rd, Joel Davidow (TruCO ‘09) and The Truman Project’s Colorado Chapter organized a panel discussion on Afghan Resettlement to Colorado. Anna Hanel of the African Community Center moderated the discussion, which featured panelists Congressman Jason Crow, Colorado State Representative Iman Jodeh, Broomfield Councilmember Heidi Henkel, and Jaime Koehler Blanchard of Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains. The panelists weighed in on how Congress and members of the community can step up to assist refugees resettling in Colorado and throughout the country.
The discussion was covered in the Denver Post, the Daily Camera, and the Broomfield Leader. Special thanks to State Representative Mike Weissmann, Susannah Cunningham (Tru SF ‘17), Jamie Koehler Blanchard, and Zena Jahmi as well as other members of Congressman Crow's staff for their help in making the event possible.
