AI Summary
This joint resolution designates March 2025 as Irish American Heritage Month in California, commemorating the 101st anniversary of diplomatic relations between the United States and Ireland while celebrating the extensive contributions of Irish Americans to the nation's development. The resolution highlights the historical journey of Irish immigrants, who overcame significant hardships and discrimination to become deeply integrated into American society, and acknowledges their profound impacts across multiple domains including politics, economics, science, literature, entertainment, and infrastructure. By recognizing that over 35 million Americans claim Irish heritage, the resolution emphasizes the significant role Irish Americans have played in shaping the country, noting that 23 U.S. Presidents have been of Irish descent and that Irish Americans have been instrumental in critical movements such as labor rights and women's suffrage. The resolution calls upon California's residents to observe March 2025 with appropriate ceremonies and programs, with special recognition on St. Patrick's Day, and directs the Assembly's Chief Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to key Irish governmental and diplomatic representatives, symbolizing the strong ongoing relationship between Ireland and the United States.
