DESCRIPTION:A Victory in the Fight to Save our Historic Post Offices\nWith members of 
 the Committee to Save the Berkeley Post Office\nThe U.S. Postal Service, 
 now headed by those favoring privatization, is closing and selling off many 
 post offices listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reducing 
 postal services and cutting public sector union jobs.  Many of these 
 historic post offices have murals and art created during the New Deal. The 
 City of Berkeley, however, prevailed in federal court saving the historic 
 post office building and setting a precedent for others.  The case promises 
 to save union jobs by requiring the USPS to follow the law. Come hear the 
 story of how a spirited group of Berkeley residents set a national 
 precedent.\n Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office fought for their 
 historic building and art for three years.  They made the nation aware of 
 the issue with articles in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los 
 Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle.\n For information:
