Supporters in Longmont today will join their counterparts across the country in a rally for the U.S. Postal Service.
“The movement for our public Postal Service has three immediate demands of our elected officials and of Postmaster General (Louis) DeJoy,” an event announcement on actionnetwork.org states. Those demands, according to the post, are:
-
Provide at least $25 billion in immediate support for the Postal Service.
-
Stop the mail slowdown policies introduced by Postmaster General DeJoy.
-
Ensure public confidence in voting-by-mail by providing all necessary resources for the most timely delivery of election mail possible.
The Longmont rally will be from noon to 1 p.m. today at the main post office, 201 Coffman St.
Participants are asked to bring a sign. Among the key messages suggested in The Action Network Post are: “#SaveThePostOffice;” We need $25B for the post office in emergency relief,” and “Stop post office cutbacks.”
Those who attend also are asked to bring a mask and hand sanitizer.
“We will all keep our masks on, maintain a social distance and sanitize our hands as needed to protect our community as we show up,” the post states
