Dear John--

We want to let you know that the AFL-CIO has postponed the Workers First Caravan, due to be held this week. Below is the AFL-CIO statement:

The death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police is a reminder that racism plays an insidious role in the daily lives of all working people of color. This is a labor issue because it is a workplace issue. It is a community issue, and unions are the community. We must and will continue to fight for reforms in policing and to address issues of racial and economic inequality.

America faces a crisis on three critical fronts: a public health pandemic, an economic freefall and long-standing structural discrimination. As a labor movement, we must attack all three with precision and purpose.

To create the space for and contribute to the national conversation around racial justice happening right now, we are postponing the Workers First Caravan until later in June.

We will let you know when a new date is announced.

-----------------------------------------------

We will let you know when we hear more about this Caravan and about other upcoming events to support our public Postal Service.

In the meantime, we have released a statement George Floyd’s death and the struggle for justice. You can read the statement here.

In Solidarity,

American Postal Workers Union
