The Community Synagogue of Port Washington Refuses to Use FedEx

In response to the gun violence in our country

The Board of Trustees of The Community Synagogue voted at its February meeting to no longer use FedEx as a shipping carrier for their synagogue, given its refusal to sever its special relationship with the National Rifle Association (NRA), because of the special discounts offered to NRA members. The hope is that in this small way pressure will be brought to bear to find common sense solutions to the rise of gun violence in this country. We will continue to use other, competitively priced alternatives. #commsyn
