Proclamation
Of The City of San Jacinto
Women’s History Month
WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto recognizes the month of March as Women’s History Month, established in 1987 by Congress to celebrate the contributions American women have made to strengthen and lead the nation since its inception; and WHEREAS, Women’s History Month honors women of every race, status, and ethnicity who have challenged the social and legal structures that have kept women’s labor underappreciated and underrepresented throughout history to establish an equal role for women, ensuring the appreciation and value of equitable labor for future generations; and
WHEREAS, American women have been leaders not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity but also at the forefront of every major progressive social change movement in history, paving the way for future generations to enjoy the unalienable rights, duties, and responsibilities afforded equally to all citizens of the United States of America; and
WHEREAS, each woman is extraordinary in her own way, proving that women working inside the home or outside in academia, science, technology, business, labor, governance, and more maintain a critical role in every sphere of society; and WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto proudly acknowledges the leadership and contributions of its three women council members, Crystal Ruiz, Clarisa Sanchez, and Valerie Vandever, who continue to inspire and empower others through their service, dedication, and commitment to bettering our community.
NOW THEREFORE, the San Jacinto City Council does hereby recognize March 2026 as Women’s History Month to honor women everywhere for their outstanding achievements and invaluable contributions to society.
