This bill directs the U.S. Postal Service to issue a "forever stamp" honoring civil rights leader Bayard Rustin. Rustin was a key organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and served as an advisor to Martin Luther King Jr., advocating for nonviolent resistance to racial segregation. He later became a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and workers' rights throughout his life until his death in 1987. The forever stamp will have the standard postage value for first-class mail and will remain valid even if postal rates increase in the future. The Postal Service must issue the stamp as soon as possible after the bill becomes law, with no specific funding or timeline requirements mentioned.
