Friend,

This is serious.

In an interview with Fox Business yesterday, the President of the United States made an alarming admission: that he is personally blocking COVID relief for the Postal Service in hopes of dampening mail-in voting in November’s election.

Asked why he wouldn’t do a deal for a new stimulus, he stated that it was because of Postal Funding. The President said: “If we don't make a deal, that means they don't get the money. That means they can't have universal mail-in voting. They just can't have it."

We know the Postal Service can handle election mail. We process nearly 500 million pieces a day. And postal workers are absolutely committed to our mission of serving the public.

But we also need Congress to do its job and pass the $25 billion in emergency relief the Postal Service needs to weather the pandemic and continue to provide the world-class service the country deserves.

We’ve been a force on the Capitol phone lines but we need to keep the pressure up now that Congress is in recess and members are back home. Tell Congress to save the Postal Service.

In Union Solidarity,

Mark Dimondstein
