Tell USPS Board of Governors to take this powerful action.

Reminder: Postal banking can help USPS out of its deficit and close the racial wealth gap.

Let's make it a reality: Take action today.

ACLU Supporter –

Here's the latest on the ACLU's fight for postal banking as a racial justice priority (and yes, that means the Post Office):

After our advocacy teams, coalition partners, and activists like you pushed for it, new members of the Postal Board of Governors were recently confirmed and began meeting just this month.

Meanwhile, thousands of banks are still closing across America – leaving millions, disproportionately Black and Brown people, without basic financial services beyond predatory payday lenders or cash checking services. What's the connection between the two?

With a branch in every zip code and trust within our communities, the Post Office can address the growing financial disparity by offering its own banking services. And it's the Postal Board of Governors who have the power to make that happen.

You've already helped this issue go a long way by putting pressure on the Senate with us, but we must keep pushing on every front: Take a quick second to sign on to our letter to the Postal Board of Governors – urging them to launch a postal banking pilot.

ACLU Supporter, banking at your local post office isn't some unrealizable dream. For most of the 20th century, post offices in the U.S. offered customers bank accounts. And postal services offer some form of financial services in 183 other countries across the world.

By expanding its capabilities to affordable banking once again – basics like bill payment and check cashing – the Post Office can act as a great equalizer in financial services. It could save half of Black Americans an average of more than $86,000 in fees across a lifetime.

ACLU Supporter, this is why we can't let up: Sign our letter to the Postal Board of Governors.
