Petition · POSTAL GOVERNORS--STOP SILENCING THE PUBLIC! · Change.org
Why this petition matters
The Postal Board of Governors oversees the operation of the United States Postal Service, an essential and Constitutionally-mandated public service that reaches every community in the country.

See the attached notification I received today. This standup appears to have already gone out. We have been through a social media policy change previously. The IRD successfully was able to keep them to withdraw some changes to the policy and make it clear the policy applied when employees were authorized to speak on behalf of the postal service.
