Let's get fired up to protect the USPS! Since our nation’s founding, Americans have depended on the postal service and the USPS has been there for us. Now we must save it.
Worried about what to say or don't feel like a voting rights expert? Even if you have never done this before and/or you’re not familiar with the tech, you can do this! We'll be texting through Hustle and there will be sample responses that cover any questions voters we're reaching out to may have. Anything not covered in the scripts can be answered by your Textbank Captain, Herb Meisner on slack, or the Campaign Guide for volunteers.
Why is this important? While more Americans will use the USPS to receive and/or cast their ballot this year, delivering mail-in ballots is just one of the essential functions the post office plays. Attacks on the post office are hurting not just voters, but also our seniors, veterans, workers, families in rural areas, and small businesses who depend on the USPS.
