Tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 27), from 5 to 5:45pm, on the Capitol Square at the corner of King and South Pinckney Streets, postal workers and their friends and supporters will rally to draw attention to the best way for Congress to save the US Postal Service.

If you don't want to see the postal unions broken and the post office dismantled and privatized, please join us. We need your support!
