By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This Labor Day, we recognize the hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment of the Every child deserves a safe and nurturing home where they can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Adoption makes that possible by opening the door to stability and belonging for children who need a family. During National Adoption Month, we commend the parents whose love has changed lives and the children whose presence has completed families -- and we recommit to caring for the many children still waiting for the comfort and security of a permanent home.Adoption reflects the deep value our Nation places on family and abundant life. As President, I am committed to empowering families who answer the call to open their hearts and homes to children. Through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, I made the adoption tax credit more accessible and expanded the child tax credit, helping remove financial barriers to adopting and allowing families to save more of their income to care for their children. While adoption creates beautiful new beginnings, too many children in our foster care system still wait for a permanent home. During my first term, I took monumental action to strengthen America's foster care and adoption systems by signing into law the landmark Family First Prevention Services Act -- the most sweeping reform of Federal child welfare policy in decades. This law utilizes proven intervention methods to keep families intact and prevent unnecessary separation. This term, I remain firmly committed to continuing this vital work alongside First Lady Melania Trump. Just last week, I signed an Executive Order on Fostering the Future for American Children and Families, to harness Federal support, technology, and strategic partnerships to provide young Americans in, or transitioning out of, the foster-care system with the tools they need to become successful adults. This effort is strengthened by the leadership of the First Lady whose work continues to uplift and protect the well-being of America's children -- ensuring every child has greater access to a strong foundation for the future. This month, we recognize the profound truth that all children are a gift from God, worthy of love, care, and family. We honor the parents and families who welcome children into their homes and provide the stability and guidance every young person deserves. Above all, we commit to protecting children, supporting those who care for them, and strengthening the pillar of family across our great Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2025 as National Adoption Month throughout the United States. I encourage all Americans to observe this month by supporting children in need of a safe and loving home, uplifting the families who welcome them, and helping strengthen the bonds of family and community across our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand thisseventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

A Proclamation
This Labor Day, we recognize the hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment of the American worker. Their inspiring skill and unbreakable spirit have propelled our country forward for generations. Their strength built our cities, their genius launched and sustained our most advanced industries, and their ingenuity carried American craftsmanship to every corner of the globe. Time and again, their resilience has seen our people through hardship and has consistently brought us to even greater heights of wealth and prosperity. The American worker deserves a Government that is determined to fight for them, as they have fought for us for generations, and we are delivering.
Since returning to office, my Administration has remained steadfast in its mission to empower the American worker and families by strengthening the economy, bolstering manufacturing, and unleashing innovation like never before. Last year, I proudly signed the Working Families Tax Cuts Act into law, making the largest tax cuts in American history permanent and boosting take-home pay for millions of hardworking families across our Nation. The law also makes the small business tax deduction permanent, allowing small business owners to deduct 20 percent of their qualified business income.
After decades of disastrous trade policies that surrendered our industrial strength to foreign nations, companies are now returning home, investing trillions of dollars into the United States economy, and adding over 900,000 American jobs. Thanks to my protective tariffs, our Nation’s workers are being shielded from unfair foreign competition, ensuring that their labor is honored, their businesses are defended, and their jobs remain on American soil. Through landmark trade deals, American manufacturing has expanded for 6 months straight, and more auto plants are being built in America today than ever before. To ensure we are hiring and training American workers, we are proposing a new fee on H-1B visa petitions that will encourage companies to invest in qualified Americans before looking overseas for labor.
Our Nation is entering a bold new era of American manufacturing, technological innovation, and economic prosperity — powered by the might of the American worker. Today and every day, we commit to ensuring their hard work remains the driving force behind our Nation’s strength and prosperity and the foundation for an even greater future.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 7, 2026, as Labor Day. I call upon all public officials and people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that honor the contributions and resilience of working Americans.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifty-first.
DONALD J. TRUMP
