Welcome.us, a non-profit launched in 2014, is dedicated to celebrating a United States that is fueled by an immigrant tradition.

The inaugural event centered around a nationwide effort to gather and share inspirational stories of America's shared immigrant experience. Its centerpiece was the launch of Immigrant Heritage Month in June, which featured local activations at the grassroots level, a long list of proclamations from governors and mayors across the country, and an extensive media campaign designed to celebrate the fact that every American is, in one way or another, a part of our immigrant fiber.

Media Eagles produced more than a dozen spots to highlight the starring role immigrants have played in the history and culture of the United States. For the month of June, we focused on telling some of the stories that shaped this country. The month included partnerships with corporations, media outlets, organizations, celebrities, and athletes, as well as faith, civic, and political leaders. Our spots featured talent ranging from Jeremy Irons to David Blaine, from Skylar Grey to Sally Field, from Paul Wesley to Macy Gray. Our Honorary Board featured Lawrence Bender, Michael Bolton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lisa Kudrow, Jason Mraz, and Sofia Vergara, among many others.
