During the recent Assembly Floor Session held on April 24, 2025, California Assemblymember Pacheco introduced Assembly Concurrent Resolution 44, which designates April 20 through April 26 as California Cities Week. This resolution highlights the vital role that California's 483 cities play in the lives of their residents, emphasizing their contributions to local governance, community services, and civic engagement.

In his remarks, Pacheco underscored the diversity of California's cities, each with unique geographical, cultural, and economic characteristics. He articulated that this week is not merely a symbolic gesture but a call to action for residents to engage with their local communities. By celebrating California Cities Week, the resolution aims to foster a sense of civic responsibility and encourage citizens to recognize the importance of their local governments.

Pacheco invited Californians to share their city’s success stories on social media using the hashtag #CaliforniaCitiesWeek, promoting a collective appreciation for the services provided by local public servants. The resolution received overwhelming support, with 54 co-authors joining in its endorsement, and was adopted following a voice vote.

This initiative reflects a broader commitment to enhancing civic engagement and recognizing the essential functions of local governments in California. As cities continue to serve as economic and social hubs, California Cities Week serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of communities and the importance of active participation in local democracy. The Assembly's adoption of this resolution sets the stage for increased awareness and involvement in local governance, encouraging residents to appreciate and support the services that enhance their daily lives.
