Dear PFAW Member,
The postal service is at risk of bankruptcy and isn't getting the same level of support that big corporations are getting from the coronavirus stimulus packages. Our postal service has helped connect the country since our founding and we need to be able to get mail, prescriptions, and other essential packages in this crisis.
Just as other essential employees in these challenging times, postal workers need to be able to access personal protective equipment to stay safe as they work. The cost of this, combined with the decrease in marketing materials and other first-class mail being sent during the crisis is quickly chipping away at the USPS's budget.
While the postal service usually operates independently from taxpayer funds and is funded by its own sales, given the debilitating financial crisis we are urging Congress to appropriate $25 billion to keep this crucial part of our government running in this challenging time. Given that Congress allocated $400 billion to bailout corporations in the last spending package, this only seems reasonable to keep mail coming and going across the country.
Can you add your name to support the postal service now?>>
Thank you for your advocacy and hoping you and your family remain well in these challenging times.
In community,
Charlie, PFAW
