"There's an agenda to privatize the postal service, dismantle it, and sell it to private corporations for private profit...That did not start with this administration, but it has intensified with them" Pres. Mark Dimondstein on our 8/25 Day of Action to #SaveThePostOffice
"The pandemic has given these privatizers and opportunity from their point of view, and they're shamefully trying to use it to take advantage of the dire impact on the postal service." Pres. Mark Dimondstein on our 8/25 Day of Action to #SaveThePostOffice
"The postal service has predicted that the pandemic will cause a $50 billion loss of revenue over the next ten years...what that means is quite likely the post office could run out of money early next year." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"We're at a crossroads...What the postal service needs now is immediate relief." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"While all this is going on, Louis DeJoy was appointed Postmaster General...Thus far, his deeds have been to degrade services to people in this country." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"[Because of DeJoy's policies] people are being deprived of their rights under the law, which guarantees 'prompt, efficient and reliable services.'" Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"This isn't partisan. Across the country 91% trust and support the post office. That's Republicans, Democrats, independents, an overwhelming majority of Americans." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"Just yesterday, the House passed a bill on a somewhat bipartisan basis that provides that $25 billion and also requires the post office to reverse the PMG's destructive policies" Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"We're on the march...Be inspired. I am. We are making a difference. Now, we need to keep the pedal on the metal." Pres. Mark Dimondstein on our 8/25 Day of Action to #SaveThePostOffice
"We're very pleased that so many of you are stepping up. We're in this together. Take this from me: postal workers are dedicated to serve you. To ensuring your mail gets there on time." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"We're going to have tens of millions of people in the midst of this pandemic that voting by mail is the only safe way they'll have access to the ballot." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"Now people want to say that all this VBM is either going to be fraudulent, which is an insult to every postal worker, or somehow we can't handle it. It won't be, and we can." Pres. Mark Dimondstein #SaveThePostOffice
"I'm calling on you to host or attend an event in your local community...We will give you the tools you need to organize a successful rally." Sec-Treas Liz Powell on our 8/25 Day of Action to #SaveThePostOffice
