Indivisible Cranbury and Indivisible of Monroe Township will hold a “Save the Post Office” rally on from 2-3 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Hightstown Post Office, 150 Mercer St., Hightstown.
The event is being held in conjunction with Indivisible‘s nationwide mobilization to protest policies hampering USPS operations and in coalition with other grassroots organizations including MoveOn.org and Nobody is Above the Law.
All are welcome to attend; masks are required and social distancing will be observed.
“The United States Postal Service is enshrined in the Constitution and we will not allow it to be sabotaged,” Laura Zurfluh, founder of Indivisible Cranbury and the rally organizer, said in a prepared statement. “Our post office joins this country together- from east to west, north to south, from Alaska to Florida – we all need the post office to deliver medications, paychecks, Social Security checks and birthday cards. The USPS has helped keep us the United States, and we won’t allow divisive politics to let it fail. We urge all those who are concerned about the vital operations of this American institution, in operation before we were a nation, to join us in decrying its demise at the hands of this administration.”
