Florida rural letter carriers will rally Friday, Oct. 16, in Gainesville to call for stronger protections against robberies and assaults and urge Congress to pass the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act (H.R. 1065).
According to a press release, the rally, organized by the Florida Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, will start at 5 p.m. outside the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center (1714 SW 34th St.).
The rally follows reports of threats and attacks against rural carriers in Florida. Organizers say violence against postal workers threatens not only their safety but also the secure delivery of medications, checks, ballots and other essential mail.
