The Postal Service dedicated its Linda McCartney stamps on Friday, Sept. 25, in New York City.

The stamps celebrate the art and life of the photographer, author, musician and animal rights activist Linda McCartney with five stamps featuring images of her work.

“Linda McCartney’s life and work represents the best of what the USPS stamp program seeks to recognize: art that endures, art that enriches, art that uplifts people,” said Postmaster General David Steiner, who spoke at the ceremony.

“Across every part of her life — art, music and advocacy — Linda led with her heart. And that’s the legacy we hope these stamps capture,” he said.

The event, which was held at the Museum of Modern Art, also featured remarks from Mary McCartney, Linda and Paul McCartney’s daughter; and Rachel Smith, a partner at the Benrubi Gallery in New York.

Angie Martoccio, a senior writer at Rolling Stone, served as master of ceremonies.

“Linda McCartney’s work was pioneering — documenting music, art and culture with an eye that was both fearless and full of heart,” Martoccio said.

The program also included a video tribute and musical performances by Keisha “Shukah” Pierce, a New York jazz vocalist.

The Forever stamps are available in panes of 20 at Post Offices nationwide and at usps.com.

The Postal Service has issued a special postmark cancellation as a reminder of the organization’s commitment to dog bite prevention.

The cancellation mark features an image of a Labrador retriever with a hashtag promoting the campaign. It replaces the standard six wavy bars cancellation from Oct. 1 through Nov. 1, and it will be applied to mail processed on automated canceling machines.

In 2025, dog attacks on Postal Service employees dropped to a little more than 5,200 incidents nationwide.

Postmaster General David Steiner delivered a videotaped keynote address to postal customer councils for National PCC Week, which took place Sept. 28 through Oct. 2.

In the 6-minute video, Steiner praises the value of the councils and thanks customers for their engagement.

“Postal customer councils sit at the center of an incredible economic value chain,” he says in the video. “Your involvement with PCCs helps power our industry and helps guide about $2 trillion in economic activity in the United States.”

He goes on to discuss the organization’s improved service performance, infrastructure upgrades and mail repositioning moves while also acknowledging its challenges.

More than 85 PCCs held events across the nation.
