The United States Postal Service (USPS) employs 600,000 Americans and provides an essential connection for millions who rely on it daily to deliver vital goods — including more than one million life-saving medications last year alone.
That’s why it’s so outrageous that Trump is denying requests to provide the emergency support the Postal Service needs to stay afloat during and after the massive disruptions caused by COVID-19. And we just learned that he is installing one of his political donors as Postmaster General — someone who will do his bidding.
While happy to dole out emergency funds to the well-connected, Trump is prepared to gut one of the nation's oldest and most trusted institutions, just as more and more people throughout the country are depending on it to get through the pandemic crisis.
Add your name to join me in demanding that Trump and Congressional Republicans stop blocking critical relief to save our postal service!
Trump has stated that he refuses to help USPS unless they raise prices on companies owned by people he sees as political opponents. It is just another example of Trump using the government to advance his personal feuds and agenda at the expense of the public interest.
If permitted, Trump would privatize our road systems, rail and metro services and just tell people to ‘pay more’ regardless of income.
And timing is everything here. The failure of the Postal Service at this moment would deal a heavy blow to ensuring viable VOTE-BY-MAIL options in the November elections.
Sign here to demand that Trump stop trying to destroy the Postal Service — we must ensure that states can use a VOTE-BY-MAIL option in the upcoming elections!
We’re in this together,
Chris
