Call your senators to demand they stop Trump’s sabotage of the USPS to ensure we can safely vote by mail in November

Hi Friend --

Over the weekend, we saw something we never thought possible: Trucks coming and taking away our neighborhood mailboxes. Why? Because Donald Trump and his lackey, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, are trying to make it more difficult for people to vote. They know that if fewer people vote, Trump has a better chance of staying in power. 

He’s not even trying to hide it. Last week, Trump stated on the record that he’s attempting to make it more difficult for USPS to handle the surge of mail-in ballots that is expected this fall.

We can’t let DeJoy and Trump get away with this blatant attack on our democracy. The House is going back to work this week to fight against these egregious attacks, but it’ll ultimately be up to the Senate to make sure the Postal Service is saved in time for the election. Call your senators and demand they fund USPS and stop the slowdown of our mail.

Postmaster General DeJoy -- a prominent Trump donor -- has been chipping away at the Postal Service for months by cutting overtime for postal workers, removing sorting machines, and now taking away mailboxes across the country. All of this in an effort to secure the election in Trump’s favor. 

But dismantling the Postal Service doesn’t just harm our ability to vote safely in the midst of a pandemic. It harms millions of Americans who rely on the mail to receive their prescription medications, paychecks, and unemployment benefits; to pay their rent and utilities, to run their small businesses, and so much more. 

Ultimately, depleting the USPS’s resources will harm the most vulnerable, like the poor, the incarcerated; Black, brown, and Indigenous people; the elderly, and people with disabilities. 

It’s up to us to take a stand. The Postal Service isn’t just a delivery service -- it’s an essential part of ensuring that our democracy can function amidst this pandemic. Call your senators and demand they stop Trump’s sabotage now.

Thanks for all that you do.
