Dear John,

Not only does Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refuse to pass a stimulus package to help the millions facing hunger, evictions, unemployment on top of the pandemic, he also is abdicating his duty to protect democracy by sitting by and doing nothing while the US Postal Service is sabotaged by the current administration.

RSVP to join us for the Moral Monday Digital March on McConnell this coming Monday, August 24 at 3:30pm ET / 12:30 PT to demand a comprehensive relief package and full funding of the USPS.

We will be joined by Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., Mary Kay Henry, International President of the 2 million-member Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and Kentuckians who are challenging McConnell on his home turf.

We can’t stop now, we need the full funding of the US Postal Service, replacement of the hundreds of sorting machines removed from service, and a full relief package that deals with the current pandemics of COVID-19, systemic racism and rapidly growing poverty in this nation.

Sign the petition to demand McConnell bring the Senate back to DC to pass a full relief package that includes protection for the U.S. Postal Service.

We are proud of the Poor People’s Campaign members and thousands of others who rallied this weekend to #SavethePostOffice with MoveOn and partners. For those who can safely do so, please show your support for the USPS by joining these rallies, including the upcoming day of action organized by our friends at American Postal Workers Union (APWU) on Tuesday, August 25. Please stop by a Post Office this weekend and take pictures of yourself in your Poor People’s Campaign shirts and signs at and upload them to social media with the #poorpeoplescampaign hashtag to show your support for the USPS.

Forward together, not one step back!

Rev. Dr. William Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis
