Protesters lined the streets in Sister Bay and Ellison Bay to show support for the local United States Postal Service. Organizer Mike Brodd says people joined in as they passed by in their vehicles.

The gathering was part of a nationwide movement hosted by Door County Indivisible. Cities and towns across America had events planned at 11 AM locally. The protesters in Sister Bay were particularly concerned about what potential slowdowns in mail delivery could mean for seniors and veterans. Both groups rely on USPS for medicines and delays could be life threatening. Another source of concern is what a slowdown in mail services could mean for November’s presidential election. Record numbers of absentee ballots are expected to be cast in Door and Kewaunee Counties due to COVID-19.
