We did our part, now we want our Money!

WASHINGTON (PAI)—The decline in money-making first-class mail, as businesses closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, emphasizes—again—the need for federal aid to keep the Postal Service going, its three top union leaders say.

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and GOP President Donald Trump—who schemed to stop vote-by-mail in his drive to steal the 2020 election—aren’t listening.

That’s because when Congress comes back to town on Nov. 30, the Senate’s ruling Republicans will tackle a money bill to keep the government going beyond Dec. 11, while pushing aid to workers, unemployment benefits, anti-pandemic measures, and $25 billion for the USPS, among other moves, off to one side.

“Meanwhile, the Postal Service has proven vital in protecting the core of our democracy—the right of citizens to choose their leaders—by facilitating an historic volume of mail ballots during that same health crisis. Perhaps never in its 245 years has the public post office been more indispensable to the country.”

Jenkins Hill Society began with friends from the personal networks of the founding members. The Society has now expanded and incorporates women from all over the DC area and NYC. JHS is comprised of women working in the realm of business, non-profits, government, and everything in between.

They all share an interest in keeping Democratic women in Congress and supporting each other through a common cause.

The idea for the Jenkins Hill Society (JHS) was hatched in 2013 by two former Capitol Hill staffers who wanted to create a unique women's fundraising group in Washington, DC. Their vision for the group was to bring women new to the political world together to support Democratic women in Congress sitting in the most vulnerable seats.

In early 2014, JHS officially launched with a group of dynamic, founding members and phenomenal Democratic Congresswomen, forming the foundation of the group today.

Why is the society named Jenkins Hill? Pierre L’Enfant referred to the site of the future Congress or Capitol Hill as "Jenkins Hill.” Since JHS is dedicated to transforming the face of Capitol Hill, the members think it is a fitting name.
