RECOGNIZING MARCH AS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
WHEREAS, American 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 have been celebrated annually in the United States since 1987; and
WHEREAS, American women have played and continue to play critical economic, cultural, and social roles 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; and
WHEREAS, Women’s History Month in 2025 has a theme of “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations” which recognizes women who have dedicated their lives to education, leadership, and mentorship; and WHEREAS, American women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation as well as public safety and the military; and
WHEREAS, American women have served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement as well as leading the way in volunteerism; and
WHEREAS, American women have been trailblazers, 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of South San Francisco does hereby proclaim March 2025 as Women’s History Month, and thanks Sarah Funes-Ozturk, for her service to the Planning Commission and the community.
