Dear fellow MoveOn member,

The new postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, is disrupting the mission of the
U.S. Postal Service, which is to deliver mail to Americans in a timely
fashion.^1

In the last month, mail delivery has dramatically slowed down at the hands
of Postmaster General DeJoy.^2 This right-wing conservative and Trump
megadonor, who has no prior expertise pertaining to the Postal Service,
was appointed by Donald Trump to the position of postmaster general in
May, and his actions are hurting Americans across the country—and pose a
threat to our election.^3,4

[ [link removed] ]Tell the board of governors to remove Louis DeJoy as postmaster
general.

The board of governors of the United States Postal Service must remove
Louis DeJoy from the position of postmaster general because he is
undermining the mission of the U.S. Postal Service.

On Friday, there was a major shake-up at the Postal Service, and
twenty-three executives were reassigned or displaced. As The Washington
Post reports, "The reshuffling threatens to heighten tensions between
postal officials and lawmakers, who are troubled by delivery delays — the
Postal Service banned employees from working overtime and making extra
trips to deliver mail — and wary of the Trump administration's influence
on the Postal Service as the coronavirus pandemic rages and November's
election draws near."^5

With a federal election less than three months away, and in the midst of a
global pandemic, it is imperative that the timely delivery of mail be made
a priority.

The board of governors must remove Louis DeJoy as postmaster general.
