Dear John,

We’re creating a montage of farmer faces and voices to be part of our annual festival (details coming soon!).

We need your help to showcase how essential family farmers are, not just for our food system but to our democracy, and that we all have a role to play to ensure their success.

Click here to read the technical details for submission and how to send your video/audio to us. But hurry, submissions are due Monday, August 24th!

Since 1775, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has provided affordable, reliable mail services for all. Its role is enshrined in the Constitution, which USPS employees take an oath to uphold and defend.

The USPS is especially important for farmers and rural residents who rely on it to pay bills, deliver life-saving prescriptions, and complete other services critical to their lives and livelihoods. This is particularly true for millions of rural Americans who live below the poverty line or reside in remote areas not served by private delivery services like UPS or FedEx, and that lack broadband. Native Americans on tribal lands and millions of disabled Americans disproportionately rely on the USPS and the postal workers who staff it.

USPS has been under attack by corporate forces trying to privatize the service, and efforts to dismantle the agency are accelerating under the Trump Administration. We cannot allow an attack on this essential institution. Congress must step in and defend our postal service.
