Multiculturalism is on the march in California: A Democratic state lawmaker has introduced a bill to recognize two Muslim holidays as official state holidays.

Fox 11 reports that California State Assembly member Matt Haney (D–San Francisco) has introduced AB 2017, which would designate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays and would, in Haney’s words, ensure that Muslims are “seen, valued and treated with the same dignity as every other community in our state.”

According to the New York Post, Eid al-Adha is among the most important holidays in Islam alongside Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan—the month in which faithful Muslims fast from dawn until sunset.

If it passes, California would become the second state in the U.S. to formally recognize both Eid holidays.

Washington became the first U.S. state to formally recognize both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state-recognized holidays.  Governor Bob Ferguson signed Senate Bill 5106 into law on April 9, 2025, adding the two Islamic holidays to the state’s official calendar.
