Military Affairs Department
The Imperial Court is showing its support of our Imperial Court Daughters who currently serve or have previously served in the Uniformed Armed Services through the establishment of this department.
The department exists to promote awareness and support among our military members serving within the Uniformed Armed Services, further enhancing The Imperial Court’s abilities to further support our members, both in, and out of uniform.
Ruth M. Ellerbe Thinking Pink Department
Providing advocacy and timely information on breast cancer awareness, diagnosis, treatments, and cancer care support within our communities, this department encourages our members to volunteer and network in local, community-based breast cancer awareness programs.
The department also provides financial support that assists with empowering our members, and their families, who are breast cancer survivors or currently receiving treatment.
Domestic Violence Department
Affecting an estimated 10 million people annually, domestic violence is an unfortunate reality. In the U.S., one in four women and one in nine men are victims, and the stated numbers are likely even higher, as many cases are unreported.
The Imperial Court pledges to take action by educating and encouraging our membership to learn and recognize warning signs, to listen to and reassure victims that they are not alone, and to advocate for legislation that protects victims and holds perpetrators accountable.
