CITY OF SEBASTOPOL PROCLAMATION
DECLARING MARCH 2026 AS
AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH
WHEREAS, In March, we celebrate American Red Cross Month by honoring our neighbors who make its humanitarian mission possible in Sebastopol; and WHEREAS, Every day, their acts of kindness change lives, bringing relief, comfort and hope when help can’t wait; and
WHEREAS, This compassionate spirit runs deep in our community, just as it has for 145 years through the American Red Cross; and
WHEREAS, Today, those who serve with the Northern California Coastal Region of the Red Cross light the way during emergencies — whether it’s delivering shelter, food and comfort after disasters; providing a safe, lifesaving blood supply for patients facing conditions like cancer treatments, childbirth complications and traumatic injuries; assisting military members, veterans and their families with 24/7 global support; or empowering individuals with skills like First Aid and CPR that save lives; and WHEREAS, These collective efforts are a powerful reminder that the strength of our community lies in our shared commitment to one another. As we mark Red Cross Month, let’s celebrate our local heroes and resolve to continue lifting each other up, so no one faces an emergency alone.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RSOLVED, THAT I, Jill McLewis, Mayor of Sebastopol, do hereby proclaim March 2026 as Red Cross Month and encourage all citizens of Sebastopol to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and the Great Seal of the City of Sebastopol this 3rd Day of March 2026.
Jill McLewis, Mayor, City of Sebastopol
