PROCLAMATION

As people across our state and nation gather to celebrate Thanksgiving today, we reflect with gratitude on the precious bonds of family, friendship and community that unite and sustain us all.

We also hold in our hearts the memory of loved ones tragically lost during the pandemic and draw strength from the remarkable heroism and selflessness of people from all walks of life who have shown up for one another in countless ways over the last few years.

In keeping with this spirit of generosity and community, many of us will take time to serve others through volunteerism today, an opportunity to give back to our fellow Californians as we count our many blessings.
