Senator Wiener’s Statement on Harvey Milk Day

May 22, 2019

Sacramento–  Today Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), Chair of the Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, made the following statement regarding Harvey Milk Day:

“For six years, I had the deep honor of representing the district that Harvey Milk previously represented on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Harvey is one of our community’s most important leaders. He paved the way for so many of the rights we enjoy today, and always reminds us of the importance of giving hope to future generations. Harvey died for our community, but his mark carries on to this day. He inspired me and so many others to fight for justice and equity. Happy birthday, Harvey.”

Today the Senate will vote on Senator Wiener’s Senate Resolution 36, which commemorates today as Harvey Milk Day. Full text of the resolution can be found here.
