President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation designating March 2026 as Women's History Month, recognizing the diverse and significant achievements of American women throughout the nation's 250-year history.

The proclamation celebrates women in leadership, industry, service, and family roles, while also detailing specific policy actions taken by the administration intended to empower women and families, focusing on economic relief, child-rearing support, and maintaining fair competition in women's sports.

This Presidential Proclamation establishes February 2026 as National Black History Month, framing the celebration within the context of the Nation's 250th anniversary of independence.

The action asserts that Black history is an indispensable part of the grand American story, citing numerous historical Black American heroes who fought for liberty and equality.

Furthermore, the President connects this recognition to current efforts, including the National Garden of American Heroes and support for HBCUs, concluding with a call for the nation to observe the month with appropriate activities under the unified belief in American principles.

This Presidential Proclamation designates January 25 through January 31, 2026, as National School Choice Week, asserting the principle that parents, not bureaucrats, have the right to determine their children's education.

The document outlines the administration's efforts to expand school choice, citing the signing of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' to create a nationwide education tax credit program accessible to taxpayers supporting scholarship organizations and expanding 529 account use for K-12 education.

Furthermore, it details executive actions supporting state scholarship programs, directing the Secretary of Education to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education, and committing to replacing "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" agendas with merit-based instruction.

President Donald J. Trump issued a Proclamation designating January 20, 2026, as the National Day of Patriotic Devotion, marking the first anniversary of his inauguration and celebrating the administration's achievements in areas including border security, economic revival through deregulation and tax cuts, strengthening the military, and restoring perceived national values and American strength on the world stage.

This Presidential Proclamation officially designates January 19, 2026, as the Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, honoring the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s role in advancing liberty and equal justice under the law.

The President reaffirms commitment to the principles Dr. King advocated—that rights are endowed by God—and encourages all Americans to commemorate the holiday through acts of service to their communities and the Nation.

This Presidential Proclamation, issued on January 16, 2026, formally designates that date as Religious Freedom Day, commemorating the enduring American commitment to the God-given right to practice faith freely without fear.

The document traces this right from the Mayflower settlers and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom—a precursor to the First Amendment—to the current administration's efforts to strengthen faith in the public square through initiatives like the White House Faith Office. The proclamation concludes by urging all Americans to honor the day by gathering at places of worship to praise the blessings of liberty.

This presidential action, issued on December 15, 2025, proclaims that date as Bill of Rights Day, marking the 250th anniversary of American independence and celebrating the ratification of the Bill of Rights.

The President recounts the historical context provided by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, emphasizing that these core amendments secure fundamental freedoms like speech, arms possession, due process, and protection against cruel punishment.

The proclamation reaffirms a commitment to upholding constitutional heritage, restoring the rule of law, and preserving a free, self-governing Republic for future generations, calling upon the American people and educators to observe the day with appropriate activities.

This document, presented under the 'Presidential Actions' banner but taking the form of a message, commemorates the 190th birthday of author Mark Twain by praising his wit, honesty, and role in chronicling the American experience through works like *Adventures of Huckleberry Finn*.

The message connects Twain's legacy of getting started and striving for excellence to the current administration's stated goals of revitalizing the economy, securing the border, and achieving global peace, expressing hope for a 'Golden Age of prosperity for all Americans' rather than a 'Gilded Age'.
