| Dear,
Right now, momentum is in our favor to stop Donald Trump from destroying the US Postal Service. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to “suspend” the changes he’s been making.(1) But we’ve been here before, Dear, when Trump appeared to back down from the Muslim Ban and separating families at the border. Attention waned, and we got a new Muslim Ban and there are still kids in cages. And DeJoy hasn’t committed to reinstall any of the mail sorting machines that were already removed or restore any of the hours that were cut from employees. We need to keep showing up to protect our election from Donald Trump. On Saturday, August 22, people across the country will head to their local post offices to show support for the essential workers of the US Postal Service and demand that DeJoy resign. So here’s what we need you to do: We've made some posters you can find here and here that you can print off and use at your local protest. While you’re at the post office, take a selfie or record a video explaining just how important the post office is to you. Maybe you were deployed overseas and relied on the mail to write home. Or maybe you receive prescriptions in the mail. Perhaps you run a small business and use affordable postal services to send out your sales. Share your story or photo on social media and tag us, @CourageCA, and include #SaveThePostOffice. We’re going to amplify these videos and selfies across the internet! And finally, if you can’t make it, take just a moment to update your profile picture for the day with our graphic asking people to join the fight. Dear, our democracy is at stake, and we know we can count on you. Click here to join our coalition’s Day of Action to save the post office on Saturday! Yours in the fight for our democracy, Jay, along with Angela, Anne, Brian, Caitlin, Deepthi, Gabby, Irene, Lindsay, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team) Footnote:  |
