Donald Trump and his billionaire MAGA cronies like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are working hand-in-hand to dismantle the USPS and turn it into another profit-driven monopoly serving their elite interests instead of the American people.
Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and their MAGA allies have launched a full-court press to pressure Congress into privatizing the USPS. They claim it’s about efficiency, but the truth is clear: privatization would mean higher costs for everyday Americans, reduced services in rural communities, and thousands of postal workers losing their jobs.
This isn’t just about delivering letters and packages. The USPS plays a critical role in our democracy by enabling mail-in voting. When the USPS is weakened, it’s not just mail delivery that suffers, it’s our ability to vote safely and securely. Trump knows this, which is why he’s attacking the USPS as part of his broader plan to consolidate power and stifle voter participation.
We can’t stand by while Trump and his billionaire friends dismantle our democracy and destroy an institution that serves millions of Americans.
Congress must act now to protect the USPS and keep it public -- forever. Call on Congress to defend the USPS and reject privatization schemes.
When we protect the USPS, we safeguard more than just a delivery service. We preserve a lifeline for small businesses, seniors, veterans, and families in remote areas. We defend a trusted public institution that connects us all. And we ensure that every voter can participate in our democracy, no matter where they live.
Imagine a privatized USPS, mail delivery costs soar, rural service disappears, and ballots go undelivered. This is the dystopian vision Trump and his MAGA billionaires have for America. But we have the power to stop them.
By standing together, we can protect the USPS, preserve mail-in voting, and strengthen the democratic values that make our nation strong.
Let’s not allow billionaires like Musk and Ramaswamy to dictate the future of a public institution that belongs to all of us. Tell Congress loud and clear: Keep your hands off our USPS!
Together, we can fight back against this privatization push and show Congress that the USPS is not for sale.
