links to legislative text and cosponsors. You’ll be able to track if your Representatives or Senators have cosponsored vital postal and labor legislation, and how they voted on the issues. If you have questions about NPMHU supported legislation, or need more information on your Representative or Senator, please feel free to reach out to me at kmaddocks@npmhu.org.
NPMHU members need to elect those who advocate on our behalf, and on behalf of the public Postal Service, to ensure that such supporters remain in office, and to ensure that those politicians who want to dismantle or privatize the Postal Service don’t gain any power over this special institu tion and its dedicated employees.
NPMHU LAUNCHES
GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN TOOL N
PMHU is excited to announce our new grassroots campaign tool on the Legislative & Political section of our website, the NPMHU Action Center. This tool will allow NPMHU Headquarters to better educate our members on legislative issues impacting Mail Handlers and the Postal Service, and provide for you and your fellow NPMHU members to directly connect with your elected officials. You will be able to effectively advocate on issues impacting the Union, encouraging elected officials to keep the Postal Service in mind when voting on legislation. To view the new grassroots campaign tool, please the national website at npmhu.org. The campaign tool will inform NPMHU members of legislative activities hap pening within Congress that have a direct impact on Mail Handlers. By submitting your name and address, you’ll be connected with your Representatives and Senators. From there, you can submit a prepared statement, asking your elected officials to take action in support of NPMHU, by voting in a way that will promote NPMHU, the postal workforce, and the USPS, or by sponsoring legislation that is aligned with our legislative agenda. These advocacy efforts strengthen our voice on Capitol Hill and show the power of NPMHU members. If you have questions about grassroots campaigns and advocacy, please reach out to NPMHU Legislative & Political Director Katie Maddocks at kmaddocks@npmhu.org.
