The Postal Service should be at the top of the political agenda for all parties! It impacts so many people when things go wrong, but, likewise, when thing go right! Some serious hearings should be just the starting point to rebuild our public Postal Service.

Too many post offices have closed over recent times. Every closure is a blow to its community. "...Our neighborhood will continue to fight for the reestablishment of the Allston Post office, fair treatment from USPS, & the fulfillment of commitments made," said Boston City Council President Breadon

Postal workers are dedicated professionals, who want to make sure your ballot is returned on time, regardless of who you vote for. The USPS has election measures in place and the 48 million total ballots cast in 2024 were only a small fraction of the 361 million mail pieces delivered EVERY DAY!

If your state counts ballots that are postmarked on or before election day but arrive after, ask the clerk at your local post office to postmark it by hand - otherwise it may not be postmarked on the day you mail it.

Management pressuring postal workers on customer service surveys? Surely they wouldn't resort to such an aggressive interpretation of their role! But seriously- the USPS needs to listen to customers. They want better service, & that only comes from better staffing and investment in the workforce.

“We want them to know it’s safe,” said Daniel Matthews, president of the North Carolina Postal Workers Union and a Wilmington postal clerk. “It’s been here for generations, and they should not be afraid to use it.”

The top official at the U.S. Postal Service said Thursday that the agency has stopped work on developing a controversial computer system that was central to President Donald Trump’s effort to limit mail voting after the Supreme Court rejected his executive order this week

The Supreme Court has only paused this rule until after the election. The USPS Board has the power to end it for good.

BREAKING: Tonight’s Supreme Court ruling is a victory for the millions of American citizens who rely on mail voting. The Trump administration tried to use the postal service to interfere in our elections: it failed. 1/2

"As Trump has amplified claims of fraud, academic and legal observers have increasingly put his allegations to the test – and found no real support. A UCLA Voting Rights Project brief from April 2020 found only 31 credible cases of voter impersonation out of a billion votes cast."

There's a lot of focus on vote-by-mail right now. Rightly so! But this isn't the only Postal Service fight right now. Corporate extremists are coming for our service - they want to cut delivery days or cut off communities entirely. Whatever happens on vote-by-mail, keep your eyes on the USPS.

Remember: as it stands, the USPS Vote By Mail rule has been stopped by the courts. We are still fighting it. Vote by mail is safe and secure. Return your ballot by mail early. Don’t discourage others from voting. They may not have another method!

Solidarity with postal workers, who deliver ballots to every registered voter in DC. An attack on vote by mail is an attack on democracy.

As of right now, the restraining order on the USPS vote-by-mail rule is still in effect. Be sure to return your ballot by mail early, but don't be discouraged.
