Etsy is asking its sellers to voice their support for the United States Postal Service, since the vast majority of its users rely on it to ship orders.  The online marketplace has launched a campaign urging its sellers to ask their local representatives to support the Postal Service Emergency Assistance Act, a Senate bill that would appropriate up to $25 billion to the Postal Service to make up for lost revenue and operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill would also grant immediate access to a $10 billion loan from the U.S. Treasury that was approved by Congress in April.  Thousands of Etsy sellers rely on the USPS to ship order to consumers.
