Ellis Porter - The Immigration Attorneys

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a powerful reminder of freedom from slavery, resilience, and the ongoing journey towards equality and justice for our fellow African American citizens. At Ellis Porter, we recognize Juneteenth as a company holiday so our team can celebrate freedom achieved, reflect on progress made, and take meaningful action to support the progress still required to assure the rights and freedoms of all African Americans are fully recognized and respected. Happy Juneteenth! #Juneteenth #Diversity #Inclusion #Equality

Ellis Porter makes it our mission to celebrate inclusivity and diversity. We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community today, and every day, embracing the value that different perspectives bring to our world. Celebrating Pride is more than just a month on the calendar, it's a movement that represents the courage it takes to live openly and authentically, and it's a call to action for equality and acceptance for all.   #PrideMonth is a time to honor the history and achievements, and recognize the ongoing struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community. From the Stonewall Riots to today, the journey towards equality has been driven by fearless individuals who dared to stand up for their rights and the rights of others. We pay tribute to their bravery and resilience, and we pledge to continue their work by fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all of our Porters.   At Ellis Porter, we believe that diversity is our strength. Our commitment to inclusivity means ensuring that every voice is heard and valued. We are dedicated to creating a workplace where people can bring their whole selves to work, where diversity of thought and identity is celebrated, and where discrimination is nowhere to be found.    During Pride Month, we'll be hosting a virtual learning opportunity for our Porters, exploring the history of Pride, and understanding the differences within the LGBTQIA+ experience globally. We aim to provide opportunities for learning and growth, and we'll encourage all of our Porters to participate, share their stories, and support one another.   We are committed to sustaining our efforts year-round. This means advocating for inclusive policies, supporting LGBTQIA+ organizations, and continually striving to improve our practices and culture.   Join us in spreading support and displaying true allyship this Pride Month! Let’s continue to push for a world where equality is at the forefront of everything we do. Celebrate our differences. Celebrate love. Celebrate Pride. Not just this month. Every day.

On this #InternationalWomensDay, we want to celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women around the globe. From the pioneers who shattered glass ceilings, to the everyday heroes who stand up for what's right, women have been driving positive change and making history in every corner of the world. While there has been progress made on gender equality, let’s also take a moment to recognize the challenges women still face each day - at home, at work, in academic settings, in partnerships, and in society. Despite our current progress, gender inequality persists in various forms, including unequal pay, limited access to education and healthcare, and instances of violence and discrimination. Women get up every day knowing they have to work a little harder to be respected, to be seen, to be heard, to get what is deserved. And yet, women around the world find the strength to do it. Today is not only a celebration, but also a call to action. It's a reminder of the work that still needs to be done to ensure that every woman and girl can live freely, without fear or limitation. Let's continue to support and uplift one another, amplify women's voices, and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable world for all. To all the women out there: You are powerful, you are resilient, and you are valued. Here's to you today and every day! In honor of International Women’s Day, and the remarkable Women of Ellis Porter, we have made a donation to the Women's Refugee Commission. The WRC, whose mission is to improve the lives and protect the rights of women, children, and youth displaced by conflict and crisis, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Please consider joining us in supporting the transformative work of the Women’s Refugee Commission.

To honor #BlackHistoryMonth, Ellis Porter hosted an engaging virtual experience Confetti titled "Exploring Black Art." This interactive presentation visited the creative realms of four remarkably successful Black artists: Olowe of Ise, Alma Thomas, Amy Sherald, and Kehinde Wiley. Our Porters had the opportunity to unravel the artistic techniques of these visionaries, as they skillfully brought their unique perspectives on the world to life. By immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Black art expressions, we not only celebrated the outstanding achievements of these artists but also contributed to a deeper understanding of the complex stories intricately displayed in their art.

It’s the end of #NationalBlackBusinessMonth and EP is proud to have been able to support seven Metro Detroit Black-owned businesses! Not only was the food from these restaurants incredible, but having the opportunity to work with these business owners has been as well. Each of them had such a unique story to share, many with immigrant backgrounds as well. We can’t thank them enough for sharing their stories, cultures, and delicious meals with us; we’ll definitely be back for more 😋 We encourage everyone to check out these restaurants, and continue supporting Black-owned businesses throughout the year! #NationalBlackBusinessMonth #EPSupportsBlackBusiness
