Watch NOW: The Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast Tribute Video
Dear Center Community,
 
In honor of Harvey Milk's legacy, The Center annually hosts the Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast, where we all join in community to celebrate. In what began as a vision of City/County Commissioner Nicole Murray-Ramirez, who founded the Breakfast with inaugural co-chairs Dr. Delores A. Jacobs and Commissioner Robert Gleason in 2008, over the years, the Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast has served to honor the memory of Harvey Milk, celebrate our San Diego LGBTQ community, and provide an opportunity to recognize the amazing contributions of our LGBTQ elected and appointed officials, leaders, and allies and to celebrate those who are serving the community.

As this event takes tremendous planning and with the uncertainty of the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic, months ago, we made the difficult decision not to host an in-person event this year. And even though we are not all together in person, we are proud to present something new – our Harvey Milk Tribute Video.

We invite you to watch the Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast Tribute Video! We hope you enjoy our special video message about the legacy of Harvey Milk.

We, like Harvey Milk, know that representation matters; that our vote is our voice and one way we create change. And now, more than ever since the leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s draft opinion signaling the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we must stand up against this outrageous attack on reproductive freedom and the right to privacy. LGBTQ rights, including marriage equality, are based on the right to privacy and Roe’s overturn will have life-altering and enormous consequences for both reproductive and LGBTQ rights.

We must brace ourselves for the fights ahead to defend our rights, our freedom, and our families and it starts with turning out to vote. Today, in Harvey’s memory, we are launching our 2022 LGBTQ Voter Pledge, to help encourage and ensure the LGBTQ community votes this election!

Please join us by taking our 2022 LGBTQ Voter Pledge and pledge to vote in the Primary Election by the voting deadline of June 7th and then again for the General Election this November - the stakes have never been higher.
The Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast Tribute Video was made possible thanks to the support from the sponsors listed above. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to celebrating our Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast in person next year.

Together in the fight,
- Cara Dessert (Pronouns: She, Her, Hers)
Chief Executive Officer
