The ACMA and its Postal Committee Chairwoman Deborah Damore from printer LSC Communications previously urged you to write to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) in response to the Commission's call for comments concerning the impact of the size and timing of the August 2021 postage rate increase. That increase as well as the July 2022 rate hike were allowed following the PRC's November 2020 ruling granting greater pricing flexibility for the USPS.

While details are still to come, White House officials say the new coordinator position will be situated within the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, and will “work to provide new trainings for schools nationwide on how book bans that target specific communities and create a hostile school environment may violate federal civil rights laws.”
