Proclamation
Women’s History Month
March 2025
Whereas, women of every race, class, and ethnic background have made historic contributions to the growth and strength of our Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways; and Whereas, women have played and continue to play critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of the life of the Nation by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home. Women have played a unique role throughout the history of the Nation by providing the majority of the volunteer labor force of the Nation; and Whereas, women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation. Women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement; and Whereas, women have been leaders, not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements, especially the peace movement, which create a more fair and just society for all; and Now, Therefore, I, Gary Singh, Mayor of the City of Manteca, on behalf of City Council, do proclaim the month of March 2025, as Women’s History Month and urge all citizens to celebrate the numerous contributions women have made to our community, state, nation and world.
