Gray Brechin, a UC-Berkeley professor and founder and project scholar of the Living New Deal, was on the WNUR radio show “This Is Hell” yesterday to talk about the selling off of historic post offices and the push to privatize the Postal Service.  Gray is one of the organizers of the effort to stop the sale of the 1914 Berkeley post office, and he spoke at the “save the post office” rally on December 4 (video here).
