Welcoming Week is September 13 – 22, 2024. During Welcoming Week, local communities around the world host in-person and virtual events that connect people of different backgrounds through shared causes and interests. This year’s theme, “We’re All In,” encourages us to connect with our neighbors, learn about different cultures, and work together to build strong, inclusive communities where everyone feels like they belong, highlighting how much better we are when we value everyone’s unique experiences and backgrounds.
Estrella del Paso (formerly DMRS), the largest free immigration legal services provider in west Texas, will celebrate the week with inspiring words from local artists as well as a student art exhibit and juried art show. The event will take place on Citizenship Day, Tuesday, September 17, 2024 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at our office located at 2400 E. Yandell Dr.
Estrella del Paso has invited local artists to share their art and speak about their experience during their artistic career, as well as their views on the importance of welcome and belonging. We are so proud to live and work in a welcoming community that we want to showcase the magic. The event will be open to the public and is free of charge.
If you are a local artist who would like to participate, please complete the agreement below, which includes options for different levels of participation.. Completed and signed agreements can be submitted to Anna Hey, ahey@estrella.org or Wendy Lopez at wlopez@estrella.org.

Join Us for a Special Mother’s Day Celebration!
In honor of ✨ Mother’s Day (and Día de las Madres), we’re celebrating the love, strength, and sacrifices of our mothers, grandmothers, wives, and adopted mothers. But most importantly, we’re coming together to support Estrella del Paso and the critical work we do in advocating for immigrant rights. Treat mom to a beautiful Saturday morning brunch with festive mariachi, while making a real difference in the lives of immigrant families in the beautiful El Paso community.
This is your chance to give back, support immigrant families, and make a lasting impact. Your participation will help provide a safe space for families to navigate legal challenges with confidence and support. Your donations ensure we can continue offering free essential immigration legal services to those who need them most.
