Third Albany rally in support of Postal Service
set for 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25
The third Albany rally in 10 days in support of the United States Postal Service is scheduled for 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, along Washington Street and Second Avenue near the Albany Post Office, 525 Second Ave. S.W.
Please bring a sign, wear a mask and abide by social-distancing practices.
About 50 sign-carrying people gathered Saturday near the Albany Post Office to show their support for the USPS..
Passing motorists honked their horns and one bicyclist rang his bell in appreciation. The rally attendees clapped every time a postal carrier stopped to make a turn at the intersection.
“While Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has announced the suspension of his policies to undermine the postal service, he refuses to commit to repairing the damage that has been done,” says Bernadette Niederer, a Linn County Democrat and member of Albany Regional Indivisible who organized Saturday’s rally.
Rallies were held at Post Offices around the country Saturday.
DeJoy testified at a Senate hearing on Friday (see video below) and will go with Robert Duncan, chairman of the USPS Board of Governors, before a House panel on Monday.
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), the Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, announced that more than 200 Members of the House of Representatives have now signed on as co-sponsors of H.R. 8015, the Delivering for America Act, which the House will consider on Saturday.
The rally by the Albany Post Office marked the second straight Saturday that people came out to support the Postal Service. A smaller rally was held Aug. 15 on Ellsworth Street in downtown Albany.
Another way to show support for the Postal Service is to email one or all of the the members of the USPS Board of Governors with your concerns. They are:
