Friend—we’re sending you an email today to start a conversation about snail mail.
With everything we’re dealing with during this pandemic, a functioning postal service matters more than ever. Millions of Americans depend on the postal service to deliver prescriptions, paychecks, and other important documents. And in November, our democracy will depend on it too as millions of us cast ballots by mail.
But right at this critical moment, the U.S. Postal Service is under threat—from overtime pay cuts for millions of workers, to the removal of critical mail-sorting equipment from post offices, to a potential 175% increase in the cost of mailing ballots. All over the country, we’re hearing more and more reports about the mail slowing down or stopping altogether.
It looks like powerful partisan forces are creating a crisis at the USPS at the worst possible time. Worst of all, Mitch McConnell isn’t doing a thing to stop this sabotage—in fact, he’s blocking $25 billion in emergency postal funding that was approved by the House.
In the same way he slow-walked solutions to help the millions of Americans struggling to afford rent, medicine, and food during this pandemic, he’s failing us when it comes to preserving an essential public service.
What’s happening at the USPS doesn’t appear to be an accident. If public servants are playing political games with one of our most critical public institutions during a pandemic, that would be a galling abuse of power.
We need leaders who’ll go to bat for our institutions, not let them deteriorate for the sake of political battles. And if the ones we have won’t do it, we need to elect ones who will.
If Mitch won’t do his job to preserve the services we need most, we need to relieve him of that job. Chip in now and let’s make sure that, come January, we have new leaders at the helm:
