On July 28, the APWU is holding a Protect Our Public Post Office National Day of Action, a nationwide call to defend one of America’s most trusted and treasured institutions — our public Postal Service. Across the country, postal workers and retirees, labor allies, and community members will come together to support a vibrant public Postal Service that serves every community, no matter the size or distance, urban or rural.

The Postal Service has a mission, mandated by law, to serve every address, in every community. That is more than 170 million homes and businesses across the country. That is why protecting a strong, public Postal Service matters to all of us.
