TELL CONGRESS: While Trump-appointee Louis DeJoy says he’s “grown numb to criticism” as he ruins the Post Office, the American people aren’t going to stop demanding a sustainable USPS that runs on time, stabilizes prices, and cares for its workers. Sign the petition: Urge the USPS Board to END DeJoy’s disastrous 10-year plan.

Hi,

A New York Times report just dropped on Trump-appointed Louis DeJoy’s disastrous 10 year plan for the USPS — a plan that has slowed down mail service, raised prices for consumers, and run a $6 billion deficit.1

Senator Jon Ossoff recently pressed DeJoy to “fully resolve disastrous performance failures” at USPS after massive mail delays in the Atlanta area. DeJoy doesn’t seem to care. He even said that he’s “grown numb to criticism.”2

Louis DeJoy cannot save the USPS by destroying it. We need our members of Congress to ensure DeJoy’s plan can’t move forward.

Sign the petition: Members of Congress must demand an END to Louis DeJoy’s 10 year plan. The USPS Board of Governors must protect the Post Office from the Trump-appointed Postmaster General.

Mail delivery has already slowed down year-over-year under DeJoy, and now he wants to reduce rural mail service even more.3 We also can’t forget that it’s an election year — and DeJoy came under fire for mail delays during the 2020 election.4

Senator Ossoff and a bipartisan coalition of 26 U.S. Senators are raising the alarm about the Trump-appointed Postmaster General’s disastrous tenure and plans to further degrade the USPS.5 But we need every single member of the House and Senate, Democrats and Republicans, to say loud and clear that DeJoy’s plan can’t be the path forward.

Sign the petition: Urge members of Congress to pressure the USPS Board to stop DeJoy’s plan of mail delays and price increases.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
