Mail Action Project
This week I’m writing letters to my two US senators telling them to fully fund the United States Postal Service, because the USPS delivers life-saving medications and food! AND it enables voting by mail in primary states. If Congress and the White House don’t act now, The USPS could be bankrupt in three months.
Please join with me in supporting postal workers by sending a letter to your Senators asking them to fully fund the USPS!
