~ Sacramento, CA- Governor Gavin Newsom has officially declared July 2024 as "Disability Pride Month" in California. This proclamation, issued today, recognizes the contributions and diversity of individuals living with disabilities in the state.
The proclamation coincides with the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a major civil rights milestone signed into law on July 26, 1990. The ADA prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life and has been instrumental in promoting inclusion and integration for people with disabilities.
California is home to over 7 million adults with disabilities and provides services to one in seven children with disabilities in schools. The state has been a leader in promoting accessibility and employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Governor Newsom's administration is committed to expanding educational opportunities, employment options, health care access, civil rights, and community living for people of all ages with disabilities.

In his proclamation, Governor Newsom stated that "diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility are integral parts of our ongoing work to build a California for all." He also urged Californians to reflect on the essential contributions of people with disabilities to their communities and reaffirm their commitment to their rights and independence.
The governor's proclamation comes at a time when California is making strides in other areas as well. In recent news, it was announced that five new television projects will be filming in California through the state's tax credit program. These projects are estimated to spend $386 million during their upcoming seasons and employ over 15,000 background performers.
Additionally, Governor Newsom and fire officials highlighted California's readiness and response to wildfires. With the state's expanded aerial firefighting capabilities and new technologies, they are working towards protecting communities from wildfire during peak season.
In another exciting development for California's economy, it was reported that the 2026 World Cup is expected to generate over $1 billion in economic activity across the state. Los Angeles and the Bay Area are set to receive an estimated $594 million and $630 million, respectively.
As California continues to make progress in various areas, Governor Newsom's proclamation of Disability Pride Month serves as a reminder of the state's commitment to diversity and inclusion for all its residents.
