Proclamations for National Arab American Heritage Month-April 2026

Since launching the National Arab American Heritage Month initiative in 2017, our movement has received numerous proclamations recognizing Arab Americans’ contributions. This year, the Arab America Foundation salutes more than 200 Arab American volunteers across 26 state teams who are working with governors, state officials, mayors, school boards, and county leaders nationwide to secure official recognitions.
Can you help bring your city, county, or state on board and help make history for our community?
This document will be updated daily as additional proclamations are received.
