Bill > HR7441

This bill, titled the "Bayard Rustin Stamp Act," directs the Postmaster General to issue a "forever stamp," which is a postage stamp that always remains valid for the cost of first-class mail, even if postage rates increase, depicting Bayard Rustin. The bill highlights Rustin's significant contributions as a civil rights leader, including his advocacy for nonviolence, his role in the 1947 "Journey of Reconciliation," his advisory position to Martin Luther King Jr., his crucial organization of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and his later work advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and workers' rights. The stamp is to be issued as soon as possible after the bill becomes law, serving as a tribute to his lifelong commitment to social justice and the disenfranchised.
