SACRAMENTO ~ California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared June 2023 as "Immigrant Heritage Month" in the state. The proclamation was issued on the 5th of June 2023 and is a recognition of the contributions made by immigrants to the state.

California is home to more immigrants than any other state in the country, with half of its children having at least one immigrant parent. Immigrants have helped shape California's history and progress, and are helping to define its future. The proclamation is an effort to honor and celebrate their foundational contributions.

Immigrants have had a significant impact on California's economy, universities, and communities. In 2019, immigrant business owners generated $24.8 billion in business income and contributed $42.6 billion in state and local taxes. Twenty-five of California's Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their descendants.
