PFAW Member,
When Trump admitted openly last week that he wants to block emergency funding for the U.S. Postal Service in order to muck up mail in voting and steal the elections he didn’t just let the cat out of the bag or say the quiet part out loud ... he drew a line and dared Republicans to cross it (and him).
Trump is commanding Republican lawmakers to join him in undermining essential services their constituents depend on from a core American institution – the Postal Service – AND in sabotaging our democracy.
The slowdowns and resource cutting at the Postal Service are causing Americans real pain in their daily lives: veterans are not being delivered their medical prescriptions, seniors are not receiving their social security checks on time, small businesses can’t deliver goods and services and jobs are being threatened ... and if Republicans in Congress (particularly Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans) do not act, it’s only going to get worse.
We need to pull out all the stops to ratchet up the pressure on Senate Republicans BIG TIME over the next few weeks and create an undeniable massive public backlash against the Trump administration’s efforts to cripple the Postal Service, and we need your help.
Tens of thousands of PFAW members have already taken action to boost pressure on Congress. Right now, we need to put some resource-intensive strategies and more organizing heft behind our targeted efforts to win this fight in the Senate.
This is a fight we can – and must – win, but we need to raise another $45,000 for our campaign to Save the U.S. Postal Service by the end of this week.
Won’t you chip in right now as generously as you can to save the USPS? >>
We ALL depend on the post office. And that’s especially true in many rural areas – many of the same places represented by Republican senators.
Republican senators have sided with Trump against the Constitution and our democracy at every turn, but this current example of Trump vs. The American People is perhaps their clearest test yet of whose side they’ll take – and it’s happening against the backdrop of our upcoming elections.
We know that enough Republicans publicly support funding the USPS and, with many of their own seats at stake in fewer than 80 days, we have lots of leverage.
To Trump and his cronies, undermining the USPS is just their latest tool for voter suppression, rigging the election, and corrupt profiteering – Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who is aggressively gutting post office operations and slowing mail delivery on Trump’s behalf, himself owns millions of dollars in stock in USPS’s competitors.
But to the American people, saving the post office is about so much more … and it’s the American people’s reliance on the Postal Service – and postal workers – that we need to keep in focus, as Trump once again puts American lives and livelihoods in peril for his corrupt, self-serving purposes.

People For the American Way is uniquely suited for this fight. The Postal Service as an institution is core to the American Way. It’s a symbol of American triumph and progress that pre-dates the official founding of our Union. And it’s served as an important source of economic opportunity and a path to equity for communities that have been disenfranchised and discriminated against – both in the jobs it helps create and sustain and the access it provides to all Americans.
Thank you so much for standing with us in this critical fight and for everything you do.
-- Ben Jealous, President
