The Broomfield Resettlement Task Force is excited to announce that Humaira will be the new Executive Director, starting in October. Since we began in 2021, it has always been the plan to make sure that this mission is led by someone who understands what it's like to be a newcomer and have a heart to serve immigrants in Broomfield. Humaira has bold plans for Broomfield, and the regional area, and we look forward to the community support! Congratulations, Humaira!

Today is World Refugee Day and you can support Broomfield Refugees today!
DONATE: https://broomfield.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=1471

Today is World Refugee Day - a time to honor the strength, resilience, and humanity of millions who have been forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, or disaster.

No one becomes a refugee by choice.
Everyone deserves safety, dignity, and a place to call home.

Let's uplift their stories, fight for their rights, and build a world where refuge is met with compassion — not fear. America is the land of opportunity.

Happy Mother’s Day! As I honor the memory and strength of my own single mother—and reflect on my journey as a mom—I’ve been thinking about the deeper origins of this day.

Mother’s Day didn’t begin as a commercial holiday, but as a powerful call for peace. In the aftermath of the Civil War, it emerged as a plea for mothers around the world to have a voice in confronting and preventing the violence that claimed the lives of their sons.

That legacy still echoes today. The wounds of the Civil War remain, as does the ongoing struggle between the lofty ideals of our democracy and the painful reality of exclusion, hate, and injustice—harms that ripple through our entire society.

No mother should have to lose a child for that gap to be seen, or for change to be sparked. No mother should have to beg for peace so that they can see their sons and daughters grow old.

My mother-in-law endured both of her sons serving in Iraq and Afghanistan within a 3 year time frame. Today, our family works on peacekeeping efforts to ensure our Afghan allies and Ukrainian refugees are not only welcomed to America, but experience the peace we have been known for. The very peace all mothers want for their families. We must strive for peace, for ALL mothers worldwide.

Let this Mother’s Day be more than a celebration—it can be a recommitment to cherishing life and honoring those who nurture it. May we build a world where compassion, humanity, and peace guide us forward, instead of violence and despair. Mothers are where we find peace, equity, and strength and we honor the moms who have sacrificed so much for the greater good.
💐Happy Mother’s Day💐
Sincerely,
Heidi Henkel
Executive Director of BRTF
