Rename the Andrew Jackson Post Office in San Diego

The Issue

Andrew Jackson owned hundreds of African slaves. He was responsible for Native American genocide and the Trail of Tears.

His name does not deserve glory in Rolando. 

It's pretty simple, really. Post Office 92115 needs to be renamed. 

Harriet Tubman is a good name but feel free to post who you want it renamed to in the comment portion of the petition. 

Rolando Post Office? College Grove Post Office? Mid City Post Office? Anything but Andrew Jackson is fine but the point is to take a stand against systemic racism and the glorification of historic oppression. If you really want a neutral name, remember Desmond Tutu, who  said: "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

92115 deserves better.
