Hi,

Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has been an utter disaster
for the U.S. Postal Service.

Mail delivery has been massively delayed.^1 Postal rates are rising.
Postal workers are sounding the alarm by publicly protesting DeJoy’s
plans.^2

Despite all this, DeJoy is accelerating his disastrous plans to slow
delivery — this time by consolidating mail sorting to regional centers
instead of local post offices.

Even some Republicans in Congress are speaking out against DeJoy’s plans,
but we don’t have to take this lying down.^3

The postal service will be holding public meetings in the coming months to
solicit feedback about his latest mail delivery slowdown plan — and that
means now is the perfect time to ramp up our efforts to demand that Louis
DeJoy be fired. Now.

The post office is supposed to be a public service. It’s particularly
crucial in rural and Indigenous communities, where broadband is scarce and
for-profit companies won’t set up shop because they don’t think they can
make a profit.^4

But DeJoy, a former logistics company CEO, isn’t focused on providing a
service. He wants to run the post office like a profit-seeking business.
That’s why he’s slashed hours for rural workers and rolled out a plan to
close post offices and sorting centers — forcing postal carriers to travel
farther to pick up the mail.^5,6

DeJoy’s plan will hurt postal workers and every American who needs their
mail on time.

We’ve mobilized over 100,000 people to demand that President Biden get rid
of DeJoy by nominating two new USPS governors who will vote to fire DeJoy.
Now, with members of Congress adding to our momentum, we must turn up the
heat.
