This is blatant corruption, John.
Trump just openly admitted that he’s defunding the postal service because he doesn't want it to be used for mail-in voting this November.
This is Trump’s attempt to sabotage the election and disenfranchise millions of voters. If Congress doesn’t act immediately to fund the USPS, people’s lives and our democracy will grind to a halt.
Speaker Pelosi is calling upon the House to return to session this weekend to vote on a bill that would prevent any changes or delays to the postal service. We need the House and Senate to pass this bill immediately and to demand the resignation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
Stop Trump’s voter suppression »
Trump thinks he can get away with manipulating another election in his favor, but we’re ready to fight. We’re planning a creative action to deliver these petitions directly to the source on Friday, and joining our partners for a national day of action this Saturday, August 22nd to #SavethePostOffice.
This is a huge moment for all of us to rise up for our democracy. Stay tuned for how you can join in.
Not only are we calling for immediate funding for the USPS, we’re demanding the resignation of Louis DeJoy – a Trump campaign mega-donor who took over as Postmaster General on June 15.
During his tenure, Mr. DeJoy has eliminated employee overtime and removed mail sorting machines to slow down the mail service before November. He’s donated $1.2 million to the Trump campaign and has investments in companies that compete with the USPS.1 His allegiance is to Trump, not our democracy and the institution he’s supposed to lead.
No one should have to choose between their health and their vote. Despite Trump’s propaganda on Twitter, there is no evidence that vote-by-mail leads to election fraud of any kind.
Not only does our democracy depend on mail-in voting, but millions of people rely on the USPS to receive medications they need to survive. An 82-year-old man in Texas was left without heart medication for a week due to USPS delays.2 This is unacceptable.
We will not rest.
