Governor Newsom proclaims Latino Heritage Month
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today issued a proclamation declaring September 15, 2026, to October 15, 2026, as "Latino Heritage Month" in the State of California.
The text of the proclamation and a copy can be found below in both English and Spanish:
PROCLAMATION
The Latino experience in California has never been one story. It is millions of stories carried across generations — families who have lived here for centuries, families who planted new roots here, and families still working toward the promise of a better future. During Latino Heritage Month, we honor this extraordinary breadth of experience and celebrate a community inseparable from the life and identity of our state.
Latino communities have shaped California since before it became a state. Their influence lives in the places we call home, the languages we speak, the traditions we carry, and the values that bind our communities together. For generations, Latino families have helped build the California we know while preserving the histories and cultures that make our state unlike anywhere else in the world.
Latinos are a driving force behind the powerhouse that is California. Latino-owned businesses, both small and large, create jobs, strengthen neighborhoods, and open doors of opportunity for the next generation. Innovators, civil rights leaders, artists, farmworkers, professionals, public servants, parents — each represents an essential part of California.
California has produced some of the most remarkable Latino voices of our time: artists who have transformed how we see the world, writers who have expanded whose stories are told, and leaders who have changed the course of our state and nation.
Yet even communities with roots this deep continue to face xenophobia, harmful stereotypes, and rhetoric that attempts to cast its members as outsiders. Honoring Latino heritage means confronting these forces and standing against attempts to diminish the community's dignity, belonging, or contributions.
Hate does not define California, nor will it determine who belongs here. California will continue to welcome people with open arms and invest in opportunities in education, childcare, and before- and after-school programs so every family, and every person, has the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
This Latino Heritage Month, we celebrate the many stories, cultures, and traditions that make up California's Latino community. We honor those who came before us, recognize those shaping our state today, and look proudly toward the generations still to come.
NOW THEREFORE I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim September 15 to October 15, 2026, as "Latino Heritage Month."

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 14th day of September 2026.

PROCLAMACIÓN
La experiencia de la comunidad latina en California nunca se ha resumido en una sola historia. Son millones de historias que atraviesan generaciones: las de familias que llevan siglos aquí, las de quienes sembraron nuevas raíces y las de quienes aún trabajan para alcanzar la promesa de un futuro mejor. Durante el Mes de la Herencia Latina, honramos esta extraordinaria diversidad de experiencias y celebramos a una comunidad inseparable de la vida y la identidad de nuestro estado.
La comunidad latina ha dado forma a California desde antes de que se convirtiera en estado. Su huella está presente en los lugares que llamamos hogar, en los idiomas que hablamos, en las tradiciones que mantenemos vivas y en los valores que unen a nuestras comunidades. Generación tras generación, las familias latinas han ayudado a construir el estado que conocemos, preservando al mismo tiempo las historias y culturas que hacen a California un lugar único en el mundo.
Los latinos son una fuerza fundamental detrás de la potencia que es California. Los negocios latinos, tanto pequeños como grandes, generan empleos, fortalecen nuestras comunidades y abren nuevas oportunidades para la próxima generación. Innovadores, líderes de derechos civiles, artistas, campesinos, profesionales, servidores públicos, padres y madres: cada uno representa una parte esencial de California.
California ha visto surgir algunas de las voces latinas más destacadas de nuestro tiempo: artistas que han transformado nuestra manera de ver el mundo, escritores que han ampliado las historias que llegan a ser contadas y líderes que han dejado una huella profunda en el rumbo de nuestro estado y de nuestra nación.
Sin embargo, incluso las comunidades con raíces tan profundas continúan enfrentando la xenofobia, los estereotipos dañinos y a la retórica que intenta presentar a sus miembros como forasteros. Honrar la herencia latina significa enfrentar estas fuerzas y rechazar todo intento por menoscabar a la dignidad, el sentido de pertenencia y las contribuciones de nuestra comunidad.
El odio no define a California ni decidirá quién pertenece aquí. California seguirá recibiendo a las personas con los brazos abiertos e invirtiendo en educación, cuido infantil y programas antes y después de clase para que cada familia y cada persona tenga la oportunidad de alcanzar sus sueños.
Este Mes de la Herencia Latina, celebramos las historias, culturas y tradiciones de la comunidad latina en California. Honramos a quienes nos precedieron, reconocemos a quienes hoy están dando forma a nuestro estado y miramos con orgullo hacia las generaciones que están por venir.
