> | \| This weekend, people around the country are mobilizing to defend the U.S. Postal Service in response to attacks by Donald Trump.  On Saturday at 11 a.m. local time, we’ll join grassroots activists at local post offices demanding that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resign in the wake of mail slowdowns. We’ll also call on Congress to safeguard the integrity of our mail and elections, and protect it from Donald Trump’s and Republicans’ plan to destroy the USPS.  Thousands of people have already RSVPed to actions.

The actions will show Americans coming together to stand up for a postal system that connects us, that we rely on for medications, paychecks, and more, and that will literally be counted on to deliver democracy in the elections this fall.  With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all event participants will be expected to wear a mask, maintain social distancing, and follow all local safety guidelines.  President Trump’s and his crony Postmaster General DeJoy’s attacks on the U.S. Postal Service threatens an essential government service relied on by millions of Americans and small businesses for the delivery of lifesaving medicines, supplies, packages, and more. We have to fight back.
