Governor Newsom proclaims Latino Heritage Month
Sacramento, California – Governor Gavin Newsom today issued a proclamation declaring September 15 to October 15, 2025, as "Latino Heritage Month," and released a video with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom commemorating the observance.
The text of the proclamation and a copy can be found below, in both English and Spanish:
PROCLAMATION
California is proudly home to more than 15 million Latinos who are foundational to our state's identity, success, and future. During Latino Heritage Month, we celebrate the central role of Latinos throughout every chapter of our history, and in our rich culture and prosperity as a state and nation.
Since the very beginning of statehood, Latino heritage and community have been irrevocably intertwined with our democracy – and with our state as a whole. In 1849, California approved its first constitution, written in both English and Spanish, and included a provision requiring that all laws and official state documents must be published in both languages.
That provision was nullified in 1879, with an amendment that allowed official writings and proceedings to be conducted and written only in English – part of a rising tide of anti-Latino and xenophobic sentiment. Today, we face a similar sentiment, an anti-Latino, anti-immigrant movement that has been fueled by misinformation and hate, and supported by laws, policies, and rulings that ignore the humanity, the civil rights, and many contributions of the Latino community.
But that sentiment is not in the majority. Here in California, we understand that our diversity is a source of strength. The contributions of generations of Latinos are fundamental to the success and scale of California's society, economy, culture, and values. The leadership, service, sacrifices, and vision of Latinos continue to enrich all facets of American life.
The Latino community is strong and resilient, and their legacy and foundational role in the prosperity of this nation and California will not be extinguished by hate – as a state, we will not allow it. California stands firm in our support. We are a majority minority state – 40% of Californians are Latino, and we are simply not the same state without them.
In California, we know and believe that our state is better off when all our communities can thrive. This Latino Heritage Month, we reaffirm our commitment to making the California Dream a reality for everyone, defending our families and communities, pushing back against hate and injustice, and protecting our collective progress.
This month and every month, let us recognize and celebrate the countless contributions of Latino communities to our California story throughout the centuries and for generations to come.

PROCLAMACIÓN
California se enorgullece de albergar a más de 15 millones de latinos, quienes son fundamentales para la identidad, el éxito y el futuro de nuestro estado. Durante el Mes de la Herencia Latina, celebramos el papel central de los latinos a lo largo de cada capítulo de nuestra historia, así como en nuestra rica cultura y prosperidad como estado y nación.
Desde el inicio de este estado, la herencia y la comunidad latina han estado irrevocablemente entrelazadas con nuestra democracia y con nuestro estado. En 1849, California aprobó su primera constitución, escrita en inglés y español, e incluyó una disposición que exigía que todas las leyes y documentos oficiales del estado se publicaran en ambos idiomas.
Esa disposición fue anulada en 1879 con una enmienda que solo permitía que los escritos y procedimientos oficiales se realizaran y redactaran en inglés, como parte de una creciente ola de sentimiento antilatino y xenófobo. Hoy, nos enfrentamos a un sentimiento similar, un movimiento antilatino y antiinmigrante alimentado por la desinformación y el odio, y respaldado por leyes políticas y fallos que ignoran la humanidad, los derechos civiles y las numerosas contribuciones de la comunidad latina.
Pero ese sentimiento no es mayoritario. Aquí en California, entendemos que nuestra diversidad es una fuente de fortaleza. Las contribuciones de generaciones de latinos son fundamentales para el éxito y la expansión de la sociedad, la economía, la cultura y los valores de California. El liderazgo, el servicio, los sacrificios y la visión de los latinos continúan enriqueciendo todas las facetas de la vida estadounidense.
La comunidad latina es fuerte y resiliente, y su legado y papel fundamental en la prosperidad de esta nación y de California no se extinguirá por el odio – como estado, no lo permitiremos. California se mantiene firme en nuestro apoyo. Somos un estado mayoritariamente minoritario: el 40% de los californianos son latinos, y simplemente no seríamos el mismo estado sin ellos.
En California, sabemos y creemos que nuestro estado prospera cuando todas nuestras comunidades pueden sobresalir. Este Mes de la Herencia Latina, reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de hacer realidad el Sueño Californiano para todos, defendiendo a nuestras familias y comunidades, combatiendo el odio y la injusticia, y protegiendo nuestro progreso colectivo.
Este mes y cada mes, reconozcamos y celebremos las innumerables contribuciones de las comunidades latinas a la historia de California a lo largo de los siglos y para las generaciones venideras.
