For generations, postal workers have bound the country together by providing reliable service to every home and business across the country, supporting local economies, and protecting democracy. But the Postal Service is facing threats that put all of that at risk. From financial challenges created by outdated laws to attacks on Vote-by-Mail and the possibility that postal leadership will prioritize corporate interests over the public good, we must act to defend one of America’s most trusted institutions — our public Postal Service.
That is why on July 14, APWU President Jonathan Smith hosted an important APWU Livestream announcing the Protect Our Public Post Office National Day of Action on July 28, where we will stand up for our public Postal Service and invite the American public to stand with us. President Smith and special guests urged members, local and state unions, and members of the public to join or host rallies and distribute informational flyers, host press events, organize postcard campaigns, and engage neighbors in conversations about why the Postal Service matters.

Every event is an opportunity to remind the public that the Postal Service is, in fact, a service and not a business, and it belongs to the American people and needs to be protected. We all deserve reliable, affordable mail services; safe and secure elections provided by Vote-by-Mail; common-sense solutions to postal finances; and a postal leadership that supports this vision.
