Postal workers across the United States held rallies on March 23 to speak out against ongoing proposals to privatize the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Organized by branches of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), postal workers and their supporters protested the dismantling of postal services through privatization. “Hell No!” and “Fight Like Hell!” were the main slogans.  

The protests were responding to the Trump administration’s threats to privatize the U.S. Postal Service when Postmaster General Louis DeJoy reached an agreement with Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency. The deal makes drastic cuts by weakening or even dismantling legal obligations regarding pension funding, service mandates, and other essential measures. At least 10,000 jobs are to be eliminated.
