Dear John,

The US Postal Service still needs us, just as much as we need our mail each day.

Public outcry has made Trump’s appointed Postmaster General roll back some of the cuts that threaten our mail service and our democracy.

But after decades of disinvestment coupled with the devastation of the coronavirus pandemic, the Postal Service will run out of money if Congress doesn’t immediately approve $25B of emergency funding.

Join an event at a local post office near you on Tuesday August 25 to #SaveThePostOffice, in partnership with APWU.

We depend on the mail more than ever – to vote, to get our medicine, to get paid and pay our bills, to run our businesses, and to keep rural America connected. It’s our Constitutional right.

That’s why we’re standing in solidarity with the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), with over 200,000 incredible members, for a day of action to keep the pressure on our elected officials to protect the Postal Service.

The public and the APWU members who serve us every day have three immediate demands of our elected officials and of Postmaster General DeJoy:

  • Provide at least $25 billion in immediate support for the Postal Service
  • Stop the mail slowdown policies introduced by Postmaster General DeJoy
  • Ensure public confidence in voting-by-mail by providing the resources for the most timely delivery of election mail possible

Stand in solidarity with our local postal workers and protect our Constitutional right to a public postal service. Find an August 25 event near you on the map.

Everything is at stake in this fight. See you at the post office.

In Solidarity,

AFGE
