Students organized coordinated actions in nine cities to send a message to the office-supply chain: The U.S. Mail is NOT for Sale.

– On the heels of their endorsement of the Stop Staples campaign in February, members of United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) held a day of action at Staples locations on March 24 to show their support for the public Postal Service and against threats to privatize it.

USAS is a national student organization fighting for workers’ rights with chapters on over 150 campuses.

Actions were held in nine cities, including New York; Philadelphia; Boston; Austin, TX; Cambridge, MA; Durham, NC; Kent, OH, State College, PA, and Washington, DC.

More actions are planned for this week.
