Free Speech For People


John,

As we adjust to our new normal, the U.S. Postal Service has become one of our most essential services during the COVID-19 crisis. It is the means by which millions of Americans can access staples like face masks and disinfectants. It is delivering social security checks, tax refunds, and coronavirus stimulus checks to those who rely on these funds to survive. It will also play a major role in the 2020 elections, as states move to adopt mail-in voting for upcoming primaries and the general election on November 3.

But the Postal Service's ability to continue meeting vital needs across the country is in jeopardy. Due to the pandemic, mail revenues are down by at least 30%, creating a grave and rapidly deteriorating financial situation for the USPS and more than 600,000 postal workers. Yet the federal government is doing little to save it. President Trump has even threatened to veto [ [link removed] ] stimulus bills that include relief for the USPS and argued that it should quadruple [ [link removed] ] its shipping fees.

*Tell President Trump and Congress: Support the U.S. Postal Service in COVID-19 relief funding.* [ [link removed] ]

The USPS is the nation's only universal delivery and communications network, connecting 160 million homes and businesses in every corner of the country. Its services are among the few explicitly outlined in the Constitution [ [link removed] ] due to the critical importance of interstate communications. With the 2020 election just six months away, a well-functioning Postal Service is necessary to ensure that mail-in voting is an option for all Americans.

The Postal Service needs both urgent and ongoing support from the Federal Government, or Americans everywhere will suffer from the loss of postal services. In the context of our democracy, people must not be forced to choose between their health and their right to vote.

*Tell President Trump and your Members of Congress to support the U.S. Postal Service, especially during the ongoing public health crisis.* [ [link removed] ]
