John,
This morning, President Donald Trump expanded his war on vote-by-mail by
spreading lies about its safety and threatening to delay November’s
election. Something he cannot do:
Let’s be clear: Federal elections take place on the first Tuesday in
November and have since 1845. Election Day will be November 3rd. Only an
act of Congress can change that. And, as our Democratic representatives in
Congress have clearly indicated, there is no way that is going to happen.
But it’s clear Trump and Republicans will stop at nothing to deny our
ability to conduct a free and fair election this fall. Including by
attacking vote-by-mail and dismantling the U.S. Postal Service.

emergency legislation fully funding the Postal Service’s operations so
Americans can safely cast their ballots this November >>

John,
Donald Trump is working to dismantle the United States Postal Service as
we know it.
He installed one of his top campaign fundraisers as Postmaster General
just to sabotage and privatize the Postal Service.
Now, the new Postmaster General is already planning to reduce delivery
hours and overtime for postal workers. This will slow down mail and cut
pay for thousands of essential postal workers in the middle of this
crisis.
Millions of Americans are relying on the USPS to deliver critical supplies
like food and medicine, and exercise their constitutional right to vote
via mail-in ballots this fall.
If Trump gets his way, he could sabotage a critical American institution
and November’s election along with it. Congress must act quickly to stop
him.

Trump only wants to dismantle the USPS to boost private profits and impair
our ability to conduct a free and fair election this November.
He and his cronies are already waging a disinformation campaign in a gross
attempt to discredit vote-by-mail and suppress the vote.
If Congress does not act to save the USPS, Trump could get in the way of
millions of Americans exercising their constitutional right to vote this
year.

name to call on Congress to force emergency funding for the USPS into the
next, must-pass pandemic relief legislation >>

Thank you for raising your voice today to protect the USPS and our ability
to safely cast our ballots this November.
