Dear
Friend,
The power of hope can't be understated, and on this Harvey Milk
Day, I am hopeful about the future. As we honor the legacy of a leader
who put his life on the line for queer liberation and social justice,
we as Greens
must remember to keep up the fight, and although things may seem dire
now, remain hopeful.
Harvey Milk blazed a trail in the late 1970s as one of the first
openly gay individuals to hold public office in California. He
fearlessly advocated for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community,
inspiring countless individuals to embrace their authentic selves and
demand equality. His dedication, courage, and unwavering spirit still
resonate with us today as we work towards a society that values and
uplifts the voice of the oppressed.
The National Lavender Green Caucus recognizes that the fight for
queer liberation is inseparable from our commitment to social,
economic, and ecological justice. We know that diversity and equity
are not just buzzwords but the cornerstones of a thriving
society.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light
despite all of the darkness.”
- Harvey Milk

As Greens, we understand the importance of electing leaders who
will fight in the halls of power and in the streets for our rights and
for non-negotiable priorities like fair wages, universal healthcare,
and environmental justice.
Its everyday people like
you, fueling our movement for peace, people, and
planet that make this all possible. Thank you for your continued
support and dedication to the principles of the Green Party. With your
help, we can achieve our
collective liberation and make those principles a
reality.
Join us in celebrating Harvey Milk's legacy and embrace the power
of collective action. Together, we can break down barriers, challenge
discriminatory systems, and create a world where love, acceptance, and
equality triumph.
In hope and
solidarity,
