John,

The most vulnerable amongst us depend on the US Postal Service to deliver life-saving medicines, groceries, and paychecks.

But thanks to Donald Trump and his corporate appointed cronies, mail has slowed to a trickle. Instead of doing everything he can to help Americans, Trump is ripping away a vital lifeline.

Now more than ever, a fully functional USPS is critical to cities and rural communities alike.

Can you add your name now to make sure the USPS gets the proper funding it needs to deliver our mail on time?

Yes, I'll sign the petition now demanding that Congress bail out the USPS!

Thanks for all you do,

Toni and the team at SumOfUS

John,

Postal workers across the country are putting their lives at risk going door to door delivering life-saving medicine and other essential items even as this pandemic grows.

But if Trump and his corporate cronies get their way, our Postal Service could run out of money soon!

This would be an unmitigated disaster in the midst of this pandemic -- and with your help, we won’t let that happen.

Right now, Congress is putting together its next stimulus bailout package, and corporations stand to get billions of dollars. We urgently need to make a massive public outcry and let Congress know that if they want to bail out large corporations with public money, first they need to fund USPS -- and keep it out of the hands of private corporations!

Add your name now to demand USPS be properly funded before it’s too late!

For years, Trump and private equity firms have been threatening to privatize USPS.

Now that dream is about to be a reality.

This pandemic has significantly impacted USPS’ bottom line, which relies on revenue created by postage and postal services to keep functioning.

Now with each passing day, the Postal Service is bleeding cash -- and it's only a matter of time before the Postal Service as we know it disappears.

John, the only thing that can stop this is a massive public outcry from regular people like you and me who are relying on the Postal Service to keep us connected and supplied through this crisis.

Together, we can create enough public pressure to force vulnerable Senate Republicans to hold fast against Trump's plotting and keep the USPS as we know it alive. But we've only got a few short weeks left to make our case.

Will you join me in this fight?

Add your name now and demand that Congress holds fast against Trump’s plans to bankrupt and privatize USPS!

 Sign the petition 

Thanks for all that you do,
Toni and the team at SumOfUs
