West Sacramento proclaims March Women’s History Month, honors local artists
Summary
The West Sacramento City Council proclaimed March 2026 as Women’s History Month and presented proclamations to local artists; council members reflected on the city's all‑female council and the role of women in local leadership.
The West Sacramento City Council on March 4 read a proclamation recognizing March 2026 as Women’s History Month and honored participating artists from the Women’s History Month Art Show.
"Whereas the city of West Sacramento reflects a legacy of leadership with an all women city council," the proclamation read. Mayor Guerrero thanked the recipients and invited brief remarks from those honored.
Dr. Edith Lefevre, one of the recipients, told the council she was honored to be recognized. Another recipient, identified in the meeting as Didiinda, said it was her first time being acknowledged at a council meeting and expressed appreciation for the recognition.
Council members used the occasion to note the city’s broader leadership by women and to encourage continued community involvement. One council member who said they had visited Westmore Oaks highlighted the importance of stepping forward to preserve the city's all‑female leadership legacy. Members also acknowledged that barriers remain for women in leadership and emphasized opportunities to support young women and women of color.
Council members and staff moved to take a group photograph with the proclamation recipients following the presentation.
