Protecting the public postal service

Thursday, February 12, 2015

Consumer Action has joined a broad coalition to help protect the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).

 The campaign, called A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service, launched today with support from 60 national organizations.

 

Without any taxpayer funding, the USPS provides affordable, universal mail service each day to more than 150 million households and businesses--to rich, poor, rural and urban, without regard to age, nationality, race or gender.

 

Consumers rely on the public Postal Service as a safe, secure way to pay bills, communicate with companies, receive recall notices, send product warranties, participate in the Census, submit voter registrations and absentee ballots, and receive communications from medical providers.

 

 From postal banking to alliances with Internet companies like Amazon, the public Postal Service has a vital role to play on behalf of all consumers.
