PUBLICITY KIT

Cesar E. Chavez Stamp

Postal Service employees can find an electronic version of the Cesar E. Chavez stamp publicity kit on the Intranet at http://blue.usps.gov; click on References, then click on Postmaster Toolkits. That electronic version makes it easy to complete the fill-in-the-blank materials included in the kit.

Publicity Ideas to Interest the Media

The Cesar E. Chavez stamp will be issued on April 23, 2003, in Los Angeles, California, at the Historic Court of Flags. Unveiling or "second day" events for the Cesar E. Chavez stamp can be held at any time throughout the year.

The Postal Service is working with the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation, based in Los Angeles, to promote this stamp. Local and national publicity helps increase commemorative stamp sales at Post Offices far beyond the date of issuance. There are many ways to interest local media in your Cesar E. Chavez stamp events.

Here are some methods to capture media attention:

Copy the First Day Event Theme

The first day of issue event - which will take place on April 23 - will feature top officials from the Postal Service, the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation, the AFL-CIO, United Farm Workers, the National Council of La Raza, and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Keep in mind this stamp is of significant national and political importance; therefore, it is a good idea to contact your Government Relations representative when planning your event (list included on page 11).

Senators, congressional representatives, and union members will be interested in this stamp and the events surrounding it.

We encourage you to start planning events and activities with local representatives of your Hispanic community leaders, congressional offices, and union AFL-CIO affiliates. Your area Public Affairs and Communications (PAC) managers are available and ready to assist you in planning your events (list included on page 12).

Other Event Ideas

Look for opportunities to sponsor events with local schools, community groups, union offices, service organizations, and Hispanic groups.

Invite employees, local civic leaders, and politicians who have been touched by the work Chavez has done in service to others to be a part of your event. This could be an event held at a new food co-op or at a local farmers market.

A simple Chavez stamp unveiling in your local Post Office lobby is always a great way to generate publicity for the Cesar E. Chavez stamp as well as to draw attention to his legacy and the Postal Service's stamp program.

Check with local TV cable stations that may regularly host Hispanic programs or community service-oriented programs to see if they are interested in covering your event or if they'd consider inviting event participants on the program.

Implement any of these ideas, combine them, or brainstorm with your employees and come up with ideas of your own. Using the publicity materials in this kit, be sure to publicize each and every event to your local newspapers and radio and television stations via press releases, media advisories, and letters to the media. And don't forget to make follow-up phone calls.

Event Planning Checklist

When planning Cesar E. Chavez stamp events, keep the following suggestions in mind:

Begin planning immediately.

Contact your nearest AFL-CIO office, Congressional Hispanic Caucus representative, or other Hispanic leaders to see if they can participate in a Chavez stamp event in your city.

Set a date.

Secure participants.

Order enlargements of the stamp image, flyers, and other supplies for the event.

Prepare a special pictorial cancellation, if applicable (form included in this kit).

Secure staging and sound equipment, if applicable.

Plan signs, including a podium sign and banners.

Launch a local publicity campaign using the materials in this kit.

Draft a sequence-of-events agenda and speaker remarks.

Plan retail opportunities (e.g., booths, bag stuffers, etc.).

Prepare ceremony programs and invitations.

Pictorial Cancellations

Post Offices planning events can design their own special pictorial cancellation for their event. As a reminder, the Postal Service must endeavor to make all unusual postmarking services widely known to collectors through advance publicity to avoid limiting the availability of these postmarks. Therefore, all pictorial cancellations must be reported to Stamp Development 3 weeks prior to local events. Please use the announcement form on page 15 to report your use of a cancellation.

Guidelines for Finalizing Cesar E. Chavez Stamp Pictorial Cancellation Art

To finalize the Cesar E. Chavez pictorial cancellation art, insert the date and the city, state, and ZIP Code of the physical location of your event adjacent to the stamp image. Overall dimensions of the pictorial cancellation must not exceed 4 inches horizontally by 2 inches vertically. Collectors prefer the dimensions 3 1/2 inches by 1 inch.

Second Day Cancellations

Second day cancellations are pictorial cancellations and follow the same guidelines as above. The word Station (or the abbreviation STA) is required somewhere in the design, since it will be a temporary station.

Cesar E. Chavez Stamp Facts and Suggested Talking Points

A commemorative U.S. postage stamp honoring civil rights advocate Cesar E. Chavez will be issued by the U.S. Postal Service on April 23, 2003, in Los Angeles, California. The stamp will be available at Post Offices nationwide.

75 million stamps will be printed.

The stamp image was painted by freelance illustrator Robert Rodriguez and features a portrait of Chavez against a background of empty grape fields. Rodriguez based the portrait on a 1976 photograph of Chavez taken by Bob Fitch and provided to the Postal Service by the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation. Rodriguez also illustrated the Cinco de Mayo stamp. He is from Pasadena, California.

The stamp design was unveiled in Washington, D.C., at a ceremony in front of the United States Capitol on September 18, 2002. Speakers at the unveiling ceremony included Senators Edward Kennedy and John McCain; Paul F. Chavez, Cesar's son and Chairman of the Board of the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation; John Sweeney, President, AFL-CIO; Arturo Rodriguez, President, UFW; and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

The Postal Service has issued Hispanic-related stamps for Frida Kahlo, Padre Felix Varela, Roberto Clemente, and Cinco de Mayo.

As with all of our stamp subjects, the ideas and suggestions for stamps come in to the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) from American citizens. CSAC carefully reviews every one of the 50,000 recommendations they receive each year against a long list of criteria. The subjects they select then go to the postmaster general for final selection. CSAC and the Postal Service are interested in providing to the American public a diverse stamp program that appeals to an audience with varied interests and best represents the people, events, and accomplishments that have shaped our nation.

Stamp collecting is a fun activity that helps children learn about the world they live in.

Customers can get information about stamps and other Postal Service products by calling our toll-free number (800-STAMP-24) or by going to our Web site (www.usps.com).

Use of Chavez's Name, Voice, Likeness or Writings in Publications, Film, Video, or Other Projects

• The Cesar E. Chavez Foundation (the Foundation) is an authorized and exclusive agent of the Cesar E. Chavez family and handles the many requests to use Chavez's name, voice, likeness, and writings. The Foundation requires a license agreement for use of Chavez's name, voice, likeness, and writings. The licensing fee will be determined based on the nature of the project and reasonable licensing standards.

• Every day the Foundation receives many requests to use Chavez's name, voice, likeness, and/or writings in a wide variety of forums and media. They have developed a form to make it easier and faster to communicate with you about your proposal. The Foundation will not process or review your request until this form has been completed and submitted to their office. You can obtain the form by sending and e-mail to Amber Thompson at athompson@cecfmail.org.

• While the Foundation has the right to authorize reproduction of some family and other photos, it is not a photo clearinghouse. Generally, you need to get publicity rights - permission to use Chavez's name, voice, likeness, and writings - from the Foundation first, and then get permission to reproduce a specific photo or illustration from the person who owns the copyright.


Speech Segment

The following suggested speech segment is for use at local ceremonies and events to support and promote the Cesar E. Chavez stamp. Feel free to customize it to fit your local event and community.

Good [INSERT `MORNING/AFTERNOON']

I'm [INSERT NAME OF POSTMASTER/DISTRICT MANAGER/MC] and it's a tremendous honor for me to represent the United States Postal Service today as we unveil the Cesar E. Chavez stamp.

We are proud to add the Cesar E. Chavez stamp to our gallery of significant players in American history. This new stamp is part of the Postal Service's 2003 stamp program, a program that celebrates the people, events, and history of our nation. Many Americans are inspired to find out more about the stamp subjects they see on their letters and packages, and thousands more become collectors every year.

Stamps are unique reminders of the amazing, triumphant, and spectacular accomplishments that shape the world we live in, and clearly show that the Postal Service does more than provide mail service - the real power of the Postal Service is our ability to connect people.

Robert F. Kennedy once called Chavez "one of the heroic figures of our time." While best known as the founder of the United Farm Workers of America, Chavez is also known as a tireless advocate for nonviolent social change. With only an eighth-grade formal education, Chavez dreamed of creating an organization to protect and serve farm workers. In 1962, he did just that. That's when he established the National Farm Workers Association, which later became the United Farm Workers of America. For more than three decades Chavez led the first successful farm workers union in American history, achieving fair wages, medical coverage, pension benefits, and humane living conditions as well as countless other rights and protections for hundreds of thousands of farm workers.

His union's efforts brought about the passage of the groundbreaking 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act to protect farm workers. Today, it remains the only law in the nation that protects the right of farm workers to unionize.

The significance and impact of Chavez's life transcends any one cause or struggle. He stood for equality, justice, and dignity for all Americans. His ecumenical principles remain relevant and inspiring today for all of us.

I would like thank all of you and all of our guests for joining us here today.

Cesar E. Chavez Honored by Words of Reflection

(Courtesy of the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation)

"I had the great privilege of knowing Cesar and working with him on some of his projects, and I was proud to march by his side in a number of campaigns he led. Cesar was a courageous, selfless, and dedicated leader of oppressed and exploited people, very much in the non- violent spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. Honoring Cesar with a stamp will not only provide a source of pride for Hispanic people, but it will also lift up an inspiring example for Americans of all races, a leader who personified human dignity, humility, and commitment to social decency for all people."

- Coretta Scott King, Founder of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center

"The inspiration of the life lived by Cesar Chavez is something to be treasured for all time. His tireless work for human justice and equality continues to make a real difference every day, even a decade after his passing. The issuance of a stamp in honor of this incredible life lived provides an important opportunity to not only remind people of it, but to introduce his life and his values to those who may not be aware."

- Robert Redford, Actor

"Cesar and Bobby, two heroic hearts forged in the crucible of the struggle for equality and justice for all, reflect the poet's words: `Born of the sun, they traveled a short while towards the sun, and left the vivid air signed with their honor.'"

- Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy, Founder of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial

"Cesar Chavez was a humble man of deep conviction who understood what it meant to serve and sacrifice for others. He was a true American hero that embodied the values of justice and freedom this nation holds dear. I reserve a different kind of admiration for individuals like Cesar Chavez. Honoring him with a U.S. postage stamp will enable his legacy to inspire and serve as an example for our youth."

- Senator John McCain




"I am honored to be selected as a member of the National Honorary Committee for the Cesar E. Chavez commemorative postage stamp. Cesar Chavez dedicated his life to the values of opportunity, liberty, and economic justice that make our nation great. He spearheaded a civil rights movement, inspired a generation of Hispanic leaders, and embodied the ideals enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. His appearance on a United States stamp is a wonderful way to honor his life and legacy, reminding a new generation of Americans of his enormous contributions to the fabric of our nation's life."

- The Honorable Richard Gephardt, House Democratic Leader

"For America's working families, Cesar Chavez signifies enormous hope in the face of daily struggle. A stamp in his honor challenges us to remember that his life's mission is not over until every worker has a living wage, adequate health care, and dignity on the job."

- John Sweeney, President, AFL-CIO

Participation of Public Officials

Cesar E. Chavez stamp events are a perfect opportunity to involve public officials in an important and positive local event. There is likely to be keen interest on their part, as it provides elected representatives a chance to interact with constituents in a friendly, civic setting with secured media coverage.

You are encouraged to reach out directly to your federal, state, and local elected officials. Government Relations representatives are available to assist you in coordinating political involvement and would be pleased to help in any way.

This section of the Community Relations field publicity tool kit contains simple guidelines, a suggested invitation list, and the names and telephone numbers of your Government Relations contacts.

Before the Event

Send a written invitation to your two U.S. senators, your congressional representatives, the governor of your state, and the mayor of your community 4 to 6 weeks before the event. Please include any other local elected officials you feel would be appropriate. The local postmaster should sign the invitations.

Follow up the written invitation with a telephone call to the elected official's scheduler within a week if you have not received a reply. You may need to call more than once.

Keep in touch with all elected officials who respond. If asked, provide updated information to the elected official's staff as it becomes available (e.g., who is participating, where and when to meet, what his or her role will be, etc.). Stress that remarks should be brief and limited to the unveiling of the Cesar E. Chavez stamp and Chavez's achievements.

Include the names of all participating elected officials on the official program as honored guests and mention them in all media advisories, if applicable.

Provide a courtesy copy of the program to the elected officials in advance.

After the Event

Send a written thank you to all elected officials who participated in the ceremony, expressing your appreciation.

Provide copies of any newspaper articles about the event to the newspaper offices. Even though they surely will see those articles on their own, you can take the opportunity to remind them of the press coverage the event received.

Provide a supply of extra cachets with the special cancellation (if applicable) to elected officials, even those who could not attend. These make great giveaways and serve as a positive reminder of the event.

Obtain and frame a photo of the elected official posing beside the stamp image and make an appointment to present it in person, if possible. A matted, well-framed photograph stands a good chance of being hung on the wall of the officials' office, serving as a positive reminder of the event.

Keep in touch with your elected officials. Good relationships are built over time.
