~ Sacramento, California - On January 15, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation declaring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the State of California. This proclamation serves as a reminder of Dr. King's powerful legacy and the impact he continues to have on our society.

Dr. King's call to stand up against injustice and protect the principles of democracy still resonates today, more than 50 years after his passing. As our state and nation face numerous challenges, his example serves as an enduring inspiration for unity and progress.

The Governor's proclamation acknowledges that moral leadership does not require a position of power or elected office. Instead, it requires the will to do what is right. Dr. King exemplified this through his tireless efforts in the civil rights movement and his ability to unite people from all walks of life.

Governor Newsom also recognizes that while progress has been made, we have not yet fully realized Dr. King's vision. California continues to work towards addressing long-standing challenges and barriers faced by African Americans, ensuring that everyone has equal opportunities to pursue the California Dream.

In light of Dr. King's legacy, Governor Newsom calls upon all Californians to come together and promote justice, expand opportunities, and create a better future for all.

The proclamation was signed by Governor Newsom on January 15th and is effective immediately. It reads: "NOW THEREFORE I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim January 15, 2025 as 'Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day.'"

In addition to this proclamation, Governor Newsom has been actively working towards addressing other pressing issues in the state. On January 14th, he signed an executive order to jumpstart firestorm cleanup in areas devastated by recent wildfires.

This order allows expert federal hazmat crews to begin cleaning up properties affected by the fires, a crucial step in getting people back to their homes safely and starting the rebuilding process.

Furthermore, Governor Newsom issued another executive order to protect fire victims from predatory real estate speculators. This order prohibits opportunistic investors from making unsolicited undervalued offers to families impacted by the fires, taking advantage of their vulnerable situation.

In Los Angeles, where the fires have caused significant damage, Governor Newsom has mobilized debris removal teams to begin work immediately once it is deemed safe. This is a crucial step in starting the road to rebuilding and providing relief for those affected by the fires.

As California continues to face challenges, Governor Newsom remains committed to addressing them and creating a better future for all Californians. His actions and proclamations serve as a testament to his dedication towards promoting justice and equality in the state.
