| Singing on the Steps of the Berkeley Main Post Office -- 2000 Allston Way Twenty-six year old Tyson Jerome "T.J." Barnette was shot and killed at 7:20 p.m. on November 23rd while delivering mail in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Barnette would never have been delivering mail after dark but for USPS mismanagement, understaffing, and the mass closings of our mail processing centers. The manufactured USPS financial crisis is the why of after dark mail delivery. Hali Hammer, Dave Welsh and Anna DeLeon will lead us in song. On Tuesday, Tuesday, December 17th, 2000 Allston Way, Berkeley from 12 noon to 1:30 pm, join with us on the post office steps to honor the memory of “T.J.” Barnette. Never again can we allow the USPS to “lose a life to save a dollar.” |
