SUBJECT: Stop Family Violence Semipostal Stamp
Domestic violence is one of our nation's biggest problems, yet many instances
of abuse go unreported while victims suffer in silence. The Stop Family Violence
semipostal stamp first day of issue ceremony is an opportunity for the Postal
Service to be at the forefront of an important campaign to end domestic violence
and its far-reaching effects.
A portion of the proceeds we receive on the sale of every Stop Family Violence
semipostal stamp will be given to the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services for domestic violence programs. Let us do our very best to help
raise awareness of domestic violence and at the same time raise millions
of dollars for this worthy cause. The lives and well-being of thousands of
people depend on our efforts.
The Stop Family Violence semipostal stamp publicity kit is featured in this
issue of the Postal Bulletin and offers a step-by-step guide for creating
local Stop Family Violence semipostal stamp events and activities. The kit
includes the following: Suggestions for generating publicity
Contact information for suggested participating organizations
A pictorial cancellation template and stamp art usage guidelines
.Facts and FAQs covering domestic violence .Service talk and retail information
.Media advisory and news release
A list of Public Affairs & Communications and Government Relations
contacts
Please use this publicity kit to develop and plan your local events. Keep
your Area Public Affairs &Communications manager informed of your activities.
