HOW TO REACH US
COURIER L 2 IFE, AUG. 28-SEPT. 3, 2020
BY BEN VERDE
Over 100 Brooklynites
gathered outside the Park
Slope post office on Aug. 22
to decry the federal government’s
attempts to hinder
the United States Postal Service
ahead of November’s
presidential election.
The rally was just one of
800 events organized across
the country for a national
day of action, as the House
of Representatives voted
on a bill to block proposed
changes to the service from
Louis DeJoy, the ally of President
Donald Trump serving
as postmaster general.
“We love our post office,
we want to protect our postal
workers, we want to save our
democracy and we want to
say no to Trump’s attacks,
DeJoy’s attacks, and republican
attacks on our post offices,”
said Justin Krebs, a
42-year-old Park Slope resident
who organized the rally
on Ninth Street between
Fourth and Fifth avenues.
Republican Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell
has vowed to block the Democrat’s
proposed bill in the
nation’s upper legislative
chamber, saying that USPS
funding should come as a
part of a larger economic
stimulus bill.
Protesters carried signs,
gave speeches in support
of the service, and signed a
banner to deliver to the Park
