Thanksgiving Day in 2024 will be celebrated on Thursday, November 28. This is a day for people across the United States to come together, reflect on their blessings, and express gratitude for family, friends, and community.
As Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed, November 28, 2024, is officially designated as Thanksgiving Day in California. This day is not just about personal reflection; it’s also a time to remember those facing difficulties and to extend generosity and compassion to those in need. Many will observe this holiday through acts of service and volunteering, highlighting the unity and shared humanity that transcends differences.
Thanksgiving also serves as an important moment to acknowledge and honor the Native communities who have been the original inhabitants of this land since time immemorial. Recognizing their profound contributions to our shared history and present, the holiday encourages learning from their legacy to foster partnership, respect, and reciprocity for a better future.
This Thanksgiving, as families and loved ones gather, it’s an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to each other and to embody the enduring values of generosity, fellowship, and hope for all.
