๐๏ธ๐ Harvey Milk Day 2025 ๐๐๏ธ
Today, we honor the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay politicians in California and a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement. Time magazine included Harvey Milk on a list titled โThe 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.โ Milk was not only an advocate for the LGBTQ community but also all minorities. He believed in safe, strong neighborhoods and supported public education, affordable childcare, and equal rights for all.
His message was simple yet powerful: Hope.
Hope for a world where all people, regardless of who they are or who they love, can live openly, safely, and with dignity.
Letโs carry forward his vision by standing up against injustice, supporting one another, and continuing the fight for equality. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
๐ฃ "You have to give them hope. Hope for a better world, hope for a better tomorrow, hope for a better place to come to if the pressures at home are too great. Hope that all will be all right." ~Harvey Milk, the "Hope" speech, 1978
