Rally for Postal Heritage Day (248th US Post Office Birthday)
Wed. July 26, 2023 Noon-1pm
East Portland Post Office, 1020 SE 7th Ave
Save Our Service, Save Our Jobs!
Suspend DeJoy’s Ten-Year Plan!
The US Postal Service is a national treasure. On the 248th anniversary of its founding, we celebrate universal service at universal rates to 150 million American households and businesses, six and seven days a week.
Unfortunately, instead of sustaining, improving and expanding this essential service, the current Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, with his Ten-Year Plan, is cutting service and jobs in the name of efficiency.
In Oregon, the latest piece of the Ten-Year Plan is to transfer Eugene and Medford mail processing to Portland. It’s not hard to see this “consolidation” plan will delay the mail and cost the jobs of postal workers at the Eugene and Medford processing plants.
The Ten-Year Plan is slowing the mail, raising prices, cutting and closing postal facilities, outsourcing postal work, paving the way for privatization of the US Postal Service.
We must protect vote-by-mail. We must protect the timely delivery of medicines, legal papers, and parcels. We must protect our vulnerable communities who depend on reliable postal service - seniors, veterans, rural and low-income residents, small businesses.
