This is the third year the Livermore City Council has had this proclamation. These are the Tri-Valley City Council commemorations in 2022: https://youtu.be/lPt53HC3RTo

The Proclamation acknowledges the rich history and guiding virtues of American Muslims, and commends Muslim communities in California for the lasting positive impact they have made, and continue to make, toward the advancement of the state and the nation.

The Proclamation recognizes the Islamic Center of Livermore as fulfilling the spiritual and cultural needs of Livermore residents, helping families with food and cash assistance during the COVID-19 crisis and promoting interfaith cooperation by providing an environment for dialogue, education, and fellowship. The full text of the proclamation is below.

These city Proclamations commemorate the California Assembly’s designation of August as American Muslim Appreciation and Awareness Month. For the past seven years, Assemblymember Bill Quirk has introduced this resolution to commemorate American Muslim Appreciation and Awareness month. The ceremonies take place during the first few minutes of the city’s council meeting.
