John, The truth is clear:

We need to act to save the United States Postal Service from Wall Street and Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

It’s no accident that DeJoy -- the first Postmaster General in two decades without experience working in the postal service -- was appointed just months after Trumps’ Office of Management and Budget released recommendations that the USPS should be privatized. The result has been the slow decimation of one of America’s most treasured institutions.

Mail slowdowns and historic price hikes have made DeJoy’s claim that the USPS is in a “death spiral” a self fulfilling prophecy. More mail slowdowns would hurt rural communities the most because -- unlike UPS and FedEx -- the USPS is required by law to deliver all mail to all regions timely, and at a flat rate.

This year, our movement, working with Congress, forced DeJoy to pause closures of USPS processing centers until at least January 2025, to help protect vote-by-mail in this crucial election year.

Now it’s time to do it again -- This time to stop the new mail slowdowns set to hit rural communities the hardest, and demand service delivery be restored to 2012 standards to completely erase the damage done by Louis DeJoy.

Sign our petition now: Don’t let Louis DeJoy privatize the USPS! >>

DeJoy sees mail service drop off as “inevitable” and says his price hikes aren’t speeding up the decline. He’s wrong. The combination of higher prices and slower delivery virtually guarantees the USPS will lose more customers. Since slowdowns started a little over a decade ago, and accelerated under DeJoy, first-class mail volume has shrunk by 28%.

His decisions affect us all, but folks in rural areas, including many Indigenous communities, seniors, and veterans are the ones who will pay the greatest price, because for many -- the post office is their lifeline. These communities rely on the postal service to receive medications and to vote-by-mail, because some towns are too small for polling places and don’t have a pharmacy.

When DeJoy has faced pressure from Congress and everyday people like you and me, we’ve won. On electric vehicles, he agreed to make a minimum of 62% of new USPS vehicle purchases electric, up from his initial plan of just 10%. We didn’t stop the pressure and he then also committed to a 40% reduction in overall USPS emissions by 2030. We all must step up one more time.

Send a message directly to your members of Congress and the USPS Board of Governors demanding they stop mail slowdowns and price hikes, and restore 2012 delivery standards, to save the post office now >>

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.

Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.

Your support is crucial to our efforts. Will you donate today to help us protect voting rights?
