"On Harvey Milk Day, May 22, we not only commemorated a leader's birthday, we celebrated his immense impact on the fight for LGBT equality, and re-dedicated ourselves to the things Harvey stood for: honesty about ourselves always; service to others; and an unwavering commitment to speaking truth to power.
Just the fifth openly gay person to win elective office anywhere in the U.S., Harvey understood his community would never gain its legal equality until it also gained real political power. So he dedicated himself to public service, and paid the ultimate price for it.
The Victory Fund is urging our friends to support a growing effort to memorialize his place in history through an official Harvey Milk stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service.
The Harvey Milk National Stamp Campaign is a joint project of the International Court System, the Harvey Milk Foundation and numerous national LGBT groups, including the Victory Fund.
Use our sample text or write your own letter to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, and we'll make sure the committee receives it right away."
