Dear Neighbor,

The US Postal Service is in crisis. 

The financial losses directly related to COVID-19 are estimated to range between $7 billion and $17 billion in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 alone. Mail volume has declined 25-30% during the pandemic, and even record-breaking package delivery volumes will not save the Postal Service long term.

In April, USPS said it would run out of money by September if it doesn't receive a federal infusion of cash. Updated financial projections from the Postal Service recently provided to Congress now anticipate a liquidity crisis between March and October of next year -- despite the increases in package sales. 

Still, President Trump is refusing to sign legislation that includes funding to rescue this beloved American institution.  

But I want to hear from you:

Should Congress include funding to save the US Postal Service in the next COVID-19 response package?
