Hello, everyone!
Postmaster General DeJoy, despite his promises to fix what he’d broken, has proven to be exactly what we thought he was.
We updated Monday’s post with actions based on this latest information, and our rally is SO ON at Wake Forest Post Office on Saturday at 11:00 am. Bring your American flags and signs (we’ve added have some downloadable graphics in the post) and be prepared to dance to our new mixtape! We’ll also be passing out blue ribbons to hang on your mailbox to support your mail carrier.

On Wednesday, we published a post discussing how DeJoy was able to get away with he did and how close we are to a for-profit takeover of our Post offices. (Answer – if Trump wins again…it’s a done deal.)(https://indivisibleventura.org/2020/08/19/wed-8-19-the-gops-plans-are-in-place-to-uber-ize-our-postal-service-dejoy-is-the-end-game-its-up-to-us-to-save-it/) Included are the histories of other countries who believed the promises of their oligarchs and who lost their national postal services.
The Root presents their third week of presentations, including Alexis McGill Johnson, CEO of Planned Parenthood and Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, President of the National Birth Equity Collaborative.
