KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The American Postal Workers Union is holding a rally in downtown Kalamazoo in part of a nationwide day of action to save the post office.
The union, postal workers, and supporters will gather in front of the Arcadia Post Office on East Michigan Avenue between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Attendees are encouraged to bring signs while social distancing and wearing masks throughout the event.
Organizers are demanding the following from elected officials and Postmaster General DeJoy:
- Provide at least $25 billion in immediate support for the Postal Service
- Stop the mail slowdown policies introduced by Postmaster General DeJoy
- Ensure public confidence in voting-by-mail by providing all necessary resources for the most timely delivery of election mail possible.
Attendees will also sign a giant postcard that they plan to mail to the U.S. Senate in care of Mitch McConnell.
