The Hudson County Board of County Commissioners voted to proclaim January of each year as Muslim Heritage Month in Hudson County in conjunction with County Executive Craig Guy.
The proclamation cited New Jersey joint resolution No. 6, signed by Gov. Philip D. Murphy in 2023, and noted the historical and contemporary contributions of Muslim community members to the county and nation. The clerk read the proclamation into the record, which referenced global Muslim demographics and a local Muslim population figure cited in the proclamation.
Arjuman Javeria, a pharmacist and community activist, addressed the board to thank commissioners and the county executive and to describe outreach she conducted across Hudson County to secure municipal-level support. "Today, we celebrate this achievement reflecting our dedication to understanding and inclusivity in our communities," Javeria said.
The proclamation passed by voice vote and the board arranged for a group photo and certificates for community participants. Commissioners encouraged ongoing events throughout the month.
