The Issue

Every day in Lahaina, mail carriers drive past our rebuilt homes to deliver to the few houses that miraculously remained standing after the devastating 2023 Lahaina Wildfire. Each drive past is a painful reminder of lost normalcy and a denial of our rightful services. It is as if our rebuilding efforts aren't acknowledged, that our homes don't truly exist in the eyes of the postal service. Not only have we lost our old way of life, but now we are also cut off from essential connections that mail delivery provides.

Reinstating door-to-door mail delivery is not just about convenience. It represents normalization and respect for all of us who have fought to reclaim our lives and rebuild our communities. Mail is not merely letters and parcels; it is a critical service, connecting us to bills, medications, legal documents, and loved ones.

We call upon the USPS and local government authorities to immediately restore mail delivery to all newly rebuilt homes in Lahaina. This restoration is vital not only for our operational needs but also for the acknowledgment of the rebuilding spirit that defines our town.

Restoring services honors every family's journey from loss to restoration, and it aligns with the principles of fairness and equality. Join our plea to bring back mail service to our doorsteps, respecting the efforts of those who faced unparalleled destruction and emerged stronger.

Sign this petition today to urge the USPS to recognize our new beginnings and restore this pivotal service, reinforcing community and connectivity for all residents of newly rebuilt areas in Lahaina.
