After many great suggestions from librarians, this protest postcard is being printed and I should have 4,000 copies on hand in a week. I hope people in the field like the way it turned out. Thanks to everyone that gave me feedback. We made it together! I'll post a link to get copies when it's done.

Postcard design: white text on a blue background reading: LOSERS ATTACK OUR LIBRARIES. FIGHT FOR LIBRARIANS! with two graphics of people holding books in the center.

On Jan. 20, 2006, I launched a project of resistance by challenging myself to be more informed about the current state of affairs. Check out these woven newspaper articles as I follow the money. www.instagram.com/p/DFECdxay6i...

Send me your mailing address in the chat and I'll mail you this postcard. My wife's late uncle left tons of unused old stamps. This is not just about you getting it, but about all of the postal workers who'll see it. And if you live in a super fucking Republican area, I really want to send you one!

A postcard (stamped using old stamps in many denominations) reading:

The US Postal Service:
Is not motivated by profit.
Is mandated to provide service to every zip code
including affordable service for rural areas.
Is used for mail-in ballots.
Is in the Constitution. (Read: ArtI.S8.C7.1 for
historical background on postal power.
Promotes Diversity and Inclusion:
Employees are 21% African-American; 8% Hispanic;
8% Asian-American/Pacific Islander;
.67% American Indian or Alaska Native.

You can:
Use USPS for shipping.
Buy stamps and use them.
Order from businesses that ship with USPS.
Stop ordering from Amazon.
Call your Representatives.
Find your reps by using www.5calls.org.
Tell postal workers you love them.
Tell postal workers you have their backs.

A postcard that reads: "TRUMP wants
to KILL the US POSTAL SERVICE
Say NO to USPS PRIVATIZATION" sitting on top of a bunch of stamped backs of the same postcard.
