“Hell no!” to dismantling your public Postal Service
Join letter carriers and labor allies this Sunday, March 23, as the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) puts its fight on the map.
Every American relies on the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). DOGE efforts to dismantle the USPS would be devastating, reducing mail services to millions of homes and businesses in rural communities, raising shipping costs, and jeopardizing good jobs. NALC is fighting back by holding more than 200 local rallies nationwide to say “Hell no!” to dismantling the Postal Service.
We are joining together to save our jobs, our rights and the universal service everyone depends on.
Find an event near you and say “Hell no!” to dismantling the Postal Service.
In Solidarity,
Team AFL-CIO
