Keanna Pickett, Owner of The Postman, to Host Press Conference On Wednesday at Corner of E Union and MLK

Media and community members are invited to join owner of The Postman, Keanna Pickett, as she hosts a press conference on Wednesday, November 22nd at the corner of E Union and Martin Luther King Jr Way. She will address media and update the community on the current and future plans for the postman as well as speak on her experiences with gun violence in Seattle.

“A lot of our changes that have happened are due to being impacted by gun violence and losing our co-founder to the result of gun violence,” Pickett said. “We take it very seriously and we realize our position in the city of promoting a more vibrant cohesiveness together and combatting the fear around gun violence.”

As a Black-owned business, Pickett says she feels The Postman has a duty to stand up to gentrification and violence impacting the area. She has also invited neighboring business owners to stand in solidarity.

The press conference will begin at 10:45 am.
