Hands off the Post Office rally and national day of action
Thursday, March 20 11am-2pm
Ohio Statehouse
Main Post Office, 850 Twin Rivers Dr.
For 250 years, the U.S. Postal Service has been a public, self-funded agency that processes, sorts, and delivers essential mail to every address, no matter where you live. In the U.S., postal correspondence remains one of the most secure and resilient forms of communication.
The USPS we all rely on for our letters, medications and parcels, has come under threat. On February 20, the Washington Post reported that the President would issue an Executive Order firing the postal Board of Governors, the Postmaster General and placing the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department and its billionaire Secretary Howard Lutnick. These efforts have since been confirmed by the President, in an effort to take us one step closer to privatization.

EPA cancels grants
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has terminated grant agreements totaling $20 billion. The grants were issued under the Biden administration to form a Green Bank program, designed to finance clean energy and climate friendly projects.
The idea was to create a nationwide version of government backed and nonprofit green banks that are currently operating in 17 states. The law gave the EPA $27 billion to grant to states, tribes, nonprofit groups and public private consortiums.
Those grantees in turn can lend or grant funds to projects or initiatives across the country while bringing in private sector lenders or financial backers to try and multiply the effects of this money.
In April of 2024, the EPA picked eight coalitions to receive the funds.
