Sisters and Associates Advocate for Free and Safe Elections this November
More people than ever before are expected to vote by mail this November. Concerns about the United States Postal Service (USPS) having the equipment and staff necessary to meet this anticipated influx of additional mail has filled news feeds for weeks.
More than 800 rallies were held at the post offices across the country on Saturday, August 22, 2020. Sister Colleen Dauerbach SSJ, the congregation's social justice coordinator, attended a rally at the Chestnut Hill Post Office. "We gathered to support our postal system that is delivering lifesaving medications, pandemic necessities, and other Important items sent through the mail as well as preparing to deliver millions of ballots this election," said Sister Colleen. "We fully support our letter carriers and postal workers. We stand for a Free and Safe Election and need to protect our right to vote-by-mail, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. We need our postal workers to be able to do their work in a safe environment with the tools they need to make sure we receive our mail promptly and that our ballots are delivered on time to be counted in the November 3, 2020 Elections.
