    Hey if you’re an American and have a moment, consider calling your representatives to urge them to support the post office. The post office receives NO federal funding and is currently struggling because of COVID-19. If it doesn’t receive aid it is likely to go under.

    The Post Office is incredibly important for rural people (many of whom are indigenous people) because the private shipping companies often cannot deliver to them, or the cost to do so is extreme. The Post Office is vital then for things like voting by mail, medication deliveries and the like and helps keep things affordable for small businesses.

    To urge your representatives to support the post office and give them aid, call

    (202) 224-3121

    This will take you to the capital switchboard. Ask to speak to a senator for your state. Then leave a message with either the clerk or the answering machine saying you urge your senator to support giving aid to the Post Office during the pandemic.

    Another thing you can do to support the post office is to just buy stamps! Stamps are good forever, and are a very affordable way to send mail. They even have collectable stamps if pretty stickers are more your style. The Post Office is a VITAL service and trust me, you WILL notice if it goes away or is privatized.

    op, for those with phone call anxiety, would you also emailing your representatives?

    Email is good too! If you search “contacting your representatives” plus your state, you should easily be able to find the .Gov addresses of your current senators and house members. I’ve heard calling is harder to ignore than emails, so I usually recommend calling first, but I usually end up doing both. Emails do help!
