SB 572: Harvey Milk Day
Perhaps more than any other modern figure, Harvey Milk's life and political career embody the rise of the LGBT civil rights movement. SB 572 would require the Governor to proclaim May 22 of each year as Harvey Milk Day. He was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in a major city, serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 1977-1978. Tragically assassinated in 1978 by a political rival at San Francisco City Hall, Milks legacy of equality, justice and unity is still felt in the civil rights movement today. It would also designate Harvey Milk Day as a day of special significance in public schools and educational institutions, and encourage those entities to conduct suitable commemorative exercises.
Call The Governor & Show Your Support : This call will only take about 30 seconds to complete. Call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger at 916-445-2841. Listen to the recorded message and press in the following order:
1 (English)
2 (legislation)
1 (SB 572)
1 (for)
