Vote

Thank you for for signing the petition to Governor Schwarzenegger to create Harvey Milk Day.

Harvey Milk was not only an inspiration as one of the first openly gay men elected to office, but as a trail blazer who understood the value of working with allies, the importance of living our lives openly with authenticity and the power that our stories have to change hearts and minds.

A day in his honor, the first for any LGBT leader, would pay tribute to the sacrifices he made to advance equality.
Please urge your friends and family to go to www.eqca.org/harveymilkday to sign the petition befor May 22, Harvey's birthday, when the petitions will be delivered to the Governor.

Last year the Governor vetoed similar legislation. But this year, with your support, he will know that Harvey was not only a figure of local sigificance, but an inspiration for millions across the state and nation.

Warmly,
Geoff Kors
Executive Director
Equality California
