A Vigil for Harvey
Monday, November 27 at 7 PM - 8:30 PM
Harvey Milk Plaza @ 2401 Market Street
The Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club is hosting our annual Vigil for Harvey Milk.
Join us on the anniversary of Harvey’s assassination as we honor our hero, his legacy, and the decades of community activism that has followed in his wake.
There will be a short speaking program from legacy club members and community leaders. Then we will also open the mic for folks who would like to say a few words, then have a short candlelit walk to the spot of Harvey’s camera shop, now the HRC store. From there, we will head to The Mix for a mixer of our own.
RSVP here.
