Since the November 17th USPS-sponsored community meeting, Upham's Corner Main Street, elected officials, and community partners have worked hard in an extensive petition and letter-writing campaign to show the USPS why the Upham's Corner Post Office is important to us. In line with the community input period which ended in early January, we collected over 3,000 signatures and letters from businesses, residents, and neighborhood groups that voiced concerns about the post office closure . UCMS has mailed this feedback to USPS.

Recently, the U.S. postal service has agreed to delay any potential nation-wide closures until mid-May to allow Congress time to work on a plan to save the U.S. Postal Service. Thus, while any potential Upham's Corner post office closure will be delayed until May, our work now shifts to pressuring our congressional representatives to save the USPS and the Upham's Corner branch .

If you'd like to help keep the Upham's Corner post office open, here's how you can contribute:

1. Contact Massachusetts Senators John Kerry and Scott Brown. You can find their contact information here.

2. Contact your congressional representative. Click here for Representative Michael Capuano's district office or click here for Representative Stephen Lynch's district office.

Please contact them between now and mid-May to voice your concerns!
