Please take urgent action to support the Postmaster General’s request for financial relief to the tune of $75 billion in the next phase of the stimulus package - as it wasn’t passed in 3.5.
The request for:
a. $25 billion in direct funding
b. $25 billion in "unrestricted borrowing authority from Treasury
c. $25 billion in grants
Is merited, especially as the *USPS has been essential throughout COVID-19.* They’ve delivered medical supplies, medication, and are helping frontline medical providers access what they need, while also allowing Americans to stay home and stay-safe.
USPS will undoubtedly continue to play a critical role around COVID-19, whether it’s delivering essential stimulus and support checks to Americans, or the likely critical role they’ll play, in ensuring everyone has access to a vaccine.
Finally, the USPS can help ensure individuals can take part in the democratic process of voting this November- because we ARE a country that still believes in democracy.
Thank you.
