John, since Donald Trump appointed his own mega-donor, Louis DeJoy, to Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service, mail service in America has suffered tremendously. DeJoy, who has prior experience in the USPS, opted to slow mail delivery times and has proposed a disastrous plan to privatize the system.
Millions of Americans have been impacted by the dramatic drop in the USPS's quality. Our postal service is vital, and an untold number of our communities rely on timely deliveries of things like medicines, paychecks,laboratory results, and direct-to-consumer goods.
Unfortunately, only the USPS Board of Governors can actually fire DeJoy and enable President Biden to nominate a replacement for him. Previously, the Board has declined to take action against DeJoy, but as a result of massive public pressure from concerned citizens like you, the tide may be turning.
A bipartisan group of 26 Senators has demanded DeJoy halt his plans to consolidate mail sorting centers and slow delivery times. These lawmakers have raised concerns that DeJoy's changes could manipulate the outcome of our elections by slowing the delivery of mail-in ballots. Save the Post Office Coalition has sent 440,327 direct messages to the USPS Board, Inspector General and the Postal Regulatory Commission in support of firing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. We need your help.
Please, join us and sign this petition to urge your Members of Congress to publicly demand that the USPS Board of Governors fire Louis DeJoy now!
During DeJoy’s time as Postmaster General:
-
Mail delivery times have slowed significantly
-
Postal worker staffing has been cut by over 30 million hours in just one year
-
Two thirds of rural mail carriers have had their wages drastically reduced
-
Multiple postal workers have died on the job from heat related illness due to poor working conditions
-
Local newspapers have been forced to pay higher delivery charges, stifling local journalism
-
He's also blocked attempts at regulation of the USPS and shut down all criticism.
The way our country communicates and conducts business is at risk because of one power-hungry man. We cannot allow this to continue. Join us in signing this petition to fire Louis DeJoy from his role as Postmaster General.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
