The U.S. Postal Service has long been an important source of decent jobs, particularly for people of color, who make up 40 percent of their workforce. In the current crisis, postal workers are playing a particularly vital role in our nation’s economic and public health as they strain to meet the surge in demand for package deliveries. At the same time, mail volume has plummeted as a result of the crisis. Without emergency relief, the Postal Service is facing a real threat of insolvency.
The public Postal Service will take almost anything, but doesn’t take any taxpayer dollars! Spread the word!
The USPS operates with ZERO tax dollars! Learn more at usmailnotforsale.org.
If the U.S. Postal Service is sold to private corporations, you won’t get your mail every day – maybe only every third day – and you will pay more for mail services. Learn more about the White House’s proposal to sell the postal service at: usmailnotforsale.org.
