John,

As one of the nation’s oldest federal institutions, the United States Postal Service plays a vital role in the daily lives of countless Americans, transporting everything from medications to Social Security payments to absentee ballots. It has become even more critical in the wake of COVID-19. In the midst of the pandemic, the American people have never been more dependent on reliable mail service for essential needs, even survival, than they are right now.

Yet the postal service is in greater danger than ever before. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, one of Trump’s top campaign fundraisers, has quickly set to work dismantling the USPS by removing over 600 mail sorting machines, slowing mail delivery. Despite stating that further policy changes will be delayed until after the general election, DeJoy refused to restore the machines that have already been removed. Following DeJoy’s appointment in June, Trump has admitted that his goal is to starve the Postal Service to prevent increased voting by mail during the pandemic.

DeJoy’s actions impede the fundamental promise of free and fair elections and jeopardize American lives. Sign if you agree: DeJoy must be removed from office.

For over a century, the unofficial motto of the USPS has held strong: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” We must ensure that the Postmaster General himself cannot impede the function of our postal system. DeJoy must be replaced with an experienced and non-partisan official who is committed to keeping mail delivery reliable, especially during the pandemic. Our democracy depends on it.

Tell the USPS Board of Governors to remove DeJoy and restore all USPS services immediately.

In solidarity,
