HR 67 (Ávila Farías) – As Introduced August 28, 2025
SUBJECT: All California Day.
SUMMARY: Designates November 9 as All California Day, a day dedicated to celebrating
California’s shared history with Baja California and Baja California Sur. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1) California, Baja California, and Baja California Sur were once part of the same region with
Alta California, beginning in 1769. California, Baja California, and Baja California Sur
share a deep historical and cultural connection with enduring ties through trade, migration,
and shared environmental and economic interests.
2) The interconnected history of California, Baja California, and Baja California Sur reflects a
shared heritage that continues to influence bilateral initiatives in various areas, such as
education, arts, and community development, thus strengthening the bonds between their
peoples.
3) California joined the United States in 1850 as the 31st state, becoming a symbol of
opportunity, innovation, and cultural exchange due to its position at the crossroads of
American, Mexican, and Indigenous traditions.
4) The relationship between California and Mexico continues to be significant, with shared
history and culture and economic ties contributing to the state’s identity as one of the most
diverse regions in the world and with over 30 percent of California’s population being of
Mexican descent.
5) An annual All California Day would provide an opportunity for residents of the state to
honor its multifaceted history, acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous peoples and
Mexican heritage, and promote unity among its diverse communities.
FISCAL EFFECT: This resolution is keyed non-fiscal by Legislative Counsel.
