~ Sacramento, California - On July 4, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom declared Independence Day in the State of California through a proclamation issued today. The governor's proclamation reaffirmed the state's commitment to upholding the principles of equality, freedom, and opportunity that were the foundation of America's founding.

In his proclamation, Governor Newsom acknowledged the sacrifices made by Americans throughout history to protect and preserve these ideals. He also recognized that while progress has been made towards achieving equality for all, there is still work to be done. The governor condemned ongoing attacks on fundamental rights and freedoms and vowed to continue fighting against them.

"Today and every day, California reaffirms our commitment to fully realizing our nation's founding ideals," stated Governor Newsom. "We will never back down from the fight to protect freedom and the rights of all who call this country home."

The governor also paid tribute to those who have played a role in safeguarding liberty and equality, including members of the military, civil rights leaders, advocates, and others. He emphasized the urgent need for continued efforts towards creating a more perfect union.

As part of his commitment to supporting film and television production in California, Governor Newsom also signed legislation aimed at strengthening the state's film tax credit program. This comes just a day after he announced that California has more than doubled its Film and Television Tax Credit Program.

In preparation for the holiday weekend, Governor Newsom highlighted measures being taken by California to ensure safety during celebrations. These include increased outreach efforts and resources for communities across the state.

However, amidst these celebrations, there was also disappointment as House Republicans passed President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Betrayal." In response to this bill being passed, Governor Newsom issued a statement condemning it as a "tragedy for the American people" and a "complete moral failure."

The governor's proclamation was signed on July 1st with Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., the Secretary of State, attesting to it. The Great Seal of the State of California was also affixed to the proclamation.

As Californians come together to celebrate Independence Day, Governor Newsom's proclamation serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the values that America was founded upon and the ongoing fight for equality and freedom for all.
