The mail processing plant, which is located at the Gateway Mall in Spring- field, is one of 55 mail processing plants scheduled for closure in February 2014. The rally, which begins at noon, is sponsored by the American Postal Workers Union, the Rural Organizing Project, and the Eugene-Springfield Solidarity Network. Immediately following the rally, Communities and Postal Workers United will lead a civil disobedience ac- tion at the plant — a sit-in expected to lead to the arrest of dozens of activists — in an attempt to pressure the postal service into abandoning its consolida- tion plans. With the shutdown of the Eugene Processing and Distribution Facility, mail from Lane County area ZIP codes will be hauled to Portland for sorting, then trucked back to Lane County for delivery.
