On January 8th hundreds of people gathered in Pioneer Courthouse Square to raise public awareness regarding the plans to destroy the Postal Service. After hearing from several inspirational speakers the crowd closed the streets of Portland to march to the main Post Office in Downtown Portland. It was the largest rally to date to bring attention to the planned closures and degradation of service proposed by the Postmaster General and his friends in Congress.
