Team,

Right now, President Trump is threatening to dismantle the United States Postal Service. This crucial institution connects families across America, especially in rural communities, to essential needs like medicine, paychecks, and messages from loved ones. This isn't just a postal issue; it's a lifeline.

For decades, the United States Postal Service has been a trusted, non-partisan public institution. Now, President Trump is signaling plans to disband the USPS Board of Governors and place the agency under direct control of the Commerce Department. This is a blatant effort to diminish service, undermine postal workers, and move toward privatization.

For regions like Central and Southern Illinois, these changes could mean more delays, more heartache, and more setbacks. We can't let privatization efforts strip away this vital service in pursuit of profit.

I'm dedicated to protecting the USPS and its employees. With your support, I introduced the Protect Postal Performance Act to stop the downsizing of crucial facilities like Champaign’s Processing and Distribution Center. But to truly safeguard this public good, I need you with me.

I’m fighting to protect the USPS and its critical role in serving our communities. I’m fighting to protect the countless Illinoisans the USPS employees provide with critical benefits. But I can’t do it alone — I need your help.

Will you stand with me to defend the USPS? Your support makes all the difference. Sign the petition today to demand that Congress take action to stop Trump’s plan to dismantle the USPS >>

Thank you for standing up for the integrity of the Postal Service and for your commitment to building a better future for Illinois and for every American relying on this fundamental service. Together, we can ensure the USPS remains a cherished public institution.
