The Great Postal Heist

I'm Jay Galione, a filmmaker and the son of a postal worker. I directed a documentary called "The Great Postal Heist" that tells the story of my father and other postal workers who are harassed, threatened, and fired for standing up for themselves and their fellow employees.
 
As I gathered these stories with filmmaker Sheila Dvorak, the very existence of the Post Office became threatened and a fight to Save the Post Office emerged. Through destructive acts of Congress, the government stole billions from the USPS, forcing a crisis. Now postal managers are cutting services, privatizing, downsizing, and eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs. The film upends the conventional story that the Internet is killing the Post Office.
 
The Great Postal Heist is more than a documentary film about what’s happening inside the Postal Service, it’s a critical part of the movement to Save The People’s Post Office. Up against the trillion-dollar mail industry and its politicians who are privatizing the Postal Service in order to raise prices and lower wages, postal workers and activists are fighting back.
 
But the only way to reclaim our historic and public communication service is to educate, motivate, and inspire the American people. We must defend what’s ours before it's gone. 
 
 To STOP the shift from Living Wage to Low Wage jobs.
 To STOP the Sale of Properties We The People own.
 To PROTECT our Universal, Affordable access to Communicate from Every Corner of the Country.
 
Sheila Dvorak is a filmmaker and activist whose narrative and documentary films have premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and screened in theaters nationwide.
