John,

Donald Trump is attempting an illegal takeover of the United States Postal Service by firing the entire Postal Board of Governors and placing the USPS directly under the control of billionaire Trump donor Howard Lutnick, recently sworn in as Secretary of Commerce. Trump described it as a “type of merger.”

But here’s the truth, the Postal Service is not a private business and it doesn’t belong to Trump or the White House, it belongs to the American people.

This isn't the first time we've faced such a threat. We've stopped Trump before, from privatization efforts in 2018 to attempted sabotage before the 2020 elections. Now we must stop Trump's unconstitutional power grab and keep the Postal Service in public hands, where it belongs. 

Demand that the Postal Board of Governors to refuse Trump's illegal order, stand strong, stay on the job, and save the Post Office >>

This move is unconstitutional and blatantly illegal.

In 1970, Congress passed the Postal Reorganization Act, explicitly removing the Postal Service from presidential control. They established the USPS as an independent, self-funded public agency. Trump's executive order would blatantly violate the law and undermine the separation of powers essential to our democracy. The Postal Board of Governors must reject this unlawful attempt by refusing Trump's firing order, and stay on the job to fight back.

If Trump is successful, postal workers, seniors, and rural Americans will bear the brunt of the devastating consequences. Over 640,000 dedicated postal employees, including 73,000 veterans, will see their livelihoods jeopardized. Rural communities risk losing guaranteed delivery of medication, Social Security checks, ballots, and other essential mail.

Trump's illegal plan would pave the way for a possible privatization of our public postal system by chopping up USPS, selling off its parts, and putting profit margins over public service.

Together with our diverse coalition of labor unions, veterans, voting rights advocates, civil rights groups, and grassroots activists across the nation, we've protected our Postal Service and we can and will do it again.

Send a message right now and help stop Trump's illegal USPS takeover. Tell the Postal Board of Governors to stand strong >>

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?
