Register here: bit.ly/2025saveusps
On Feb. 20th The Washington Post broke news of a planned executive order to have the Dept. of Commerce take over USPS as a prelude to privatization. Trump could sign it any day.
The Save the Post Office Coalition and A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service invite you to attend a virtual open convening for coalition members, both organizations and individuals, who are ready to organize and act to protect The United States Postal Service. Trump’s plans to dismantle USPS are an attack on our most treasured public institution that will leave everyday folks to pay the price while greedy corporate CEOs get richer.
Come hear from:
- Mark Dimondstein, President of the American Postal Workers Union
- Monique Morrissey, Senior Economist at the Economic Policy Institute
- Brittany Price, Postal Worker, APWU Cleveland William H Burrus Local #72
- Shawn Sebastian, Organizing Director at RuralOrganizing.org
Moderated by Annie Norman, Campaign Manager at The Save the Post Office Coalition
The post office is a lifeline for veterans and seniors to get prescriptions and benefits, for everyone to cast ballots safely and securely, for small businesses to get goods to customers, and for farmers to receive live chicks and bees. We rely on USPS because they deliver to every address, in every ZIP code, from the biggest cities to the most rural areas. Private carriers charge more or simply won’t deliver . USPS also has long been a source of good union jobs across the country, and a pathway to the Black middle class.
Thursday March 20 | Hands Off Our Public Postal Service National Day of Action
The Postal Service is facing one of the most serious threats in our history. Reports indicate that the new presidential administration is preparing an illegal and hostile takeover of the USPS, threatening the stability of our jobs, our workplaces, and the public service we proudly provide. The American people deserve a Postal Service that remains true to its public mission and continues to serve communities across the country, no matter where you live.Now postal workers and the communities we serve are standing together to ensure our postal service stays in the hands of the people, not the billionaires. Let’s make it clear to the country that the U.S Mail is Not For Sale!
