National Rural Letter Carriers' Association

The NRLCA demands that Congress protect the Postal Service from privatization and safeguard the future of Rural America! Please take a minute to sign our petition and share it widely. Privatization is no longer a distant threat—it’s at our doorstep! protectpostalservice.com/petition

I met with leaders from the @NRLCA during their annual fly-in to hear directly from those who serve rural routes across the country. They raised concerns about on-the-job risks, gaps in retirement credit for longtime federal workers, and proposals that could shift the Postal Service away from its public mission. In parts of South Texas, many families and small communities depend on consistent rural delivery for medications, business operations, and daily communication. I’m working in a bipartisan way to support policies that strengthen the postal workforce and keep service dependable. Delivering for our district means ensuring rural residents continue to receive the reliable mail service they count on every day.

The NRLCA was informed of @USPS decision to temporarily suspend employer retirement contributions to FERS. This move should not be taken lightly: Congress needs to take action to address USPS's financial challenges. Our statement here: nrlca.org/News/1855

The NRLCA has released a statement opposing the Administration’s executive order seeking to impose new federal restrictions on vote by mail and to involve the Postal Service in functions that properly belong to the states. Read it here: nrlca.org/Content/Press-…

📆 In just two months, letter carriers across the country will be hitting their routes and collecting your non-perishable food donations as part of the nation’s largest one-day food drive. For more than 30 years, the members of NALC have been proud to lead this annual effort to fill the shelves of local food banks. Mark your calendars for May 9 and help us #StampOutHunger!

Yesterday, the bipartisan Congressional Postal Caucus held its first public roundtable. NRLCA Vice President Pitts emphasized the urgent need for Congress to take action to pass the Protect our Letter Carriers Act (H.R. 1065) and the anti-privatization resolution (H. Res. 70).

Every year, the members of NALC are proud to lead the effort to fill the shelves of local food pantries through the #StampOutHunger Food Drive—but we can’t do it without your help! 📬 Join in by leaving a bag of non-perishable food donations by your mailbox for your letter carrier to collect on Saturday, May 9. Together, we can Stamp Out Hunger in communities across America!

Today is National Thank a Mail Carrier Day! Thank you to the 130,000 dedicated and hard working rural carriers who deliver across America every day! #postalproud #unionstrong

Today, we observe Rural Carrier Remembrance Day by honoring those rural carriers who have lost their lives while performing their duties as USPS employees. A binding resolution passed at the 2015 National Convention in Reno, NV established “Rural Carrier Remembrance Day.”

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from the NRLCA! 🇺🇸 We celebrate the dedication of all workers, especially rural letter carriers and our fellow union brothers and sisters who keep the mail moving and our communities connected. 💪📬 #LaborDay #UnionStrong #NRLCA #Solidarity

@BrianNesbit3 @USPS Love this photo! ✊

Our fight will continue until the fight is needed no longer. US mail is NOT for sale!! Rural customers rely on the @USPS & @NRLCA One day longer, one day stronger!! 📸: Heather Downs, MDRLCA

Proud to join the @NRLCA to advocate against the privatization of @USPS. In the 117th Congress, we passed the #PostalServiceReformAct to fix its pension, guarantee six-day service, & upgrade postal vehicles to air-conditioned EVs. Letter Carriers are an integral part of our community.

Happy 250th birthday, @USPS ! On this day in 1775, the Second Continental Congress established America’s public postal mail delivery service. We’re proud of the hard work and dedication of rural carriers throughout our country. Here's to 250 more years of universal service!
