Since A.G. Holder emailed you about defending the Postal Service, it became even more clear that some people in charge at the USPS are wholly unqualified to lead it -- especially when Representative Katie Porter and others questioned Postmaster General DeJoy at a recent hearing.
Despite overseeing what may be the highest volume of mail-in ballots in an election this fall, DeJoy didn't know how many people voted by mail in 2016. He was also unable to give a specific, detailed plan of how the USPS would process ballots on time this year -- further confirming he isn't prepared for an election during a pandemic.
DeJoy fumbled even more basic and simple questions like how much it costs to send a postcard.
If you find DeJoy's lack of leadership concerning -- donate before our end-of-month deadline to fund our work to save the USPS. We need to raise $11,000 by Monday at midnight to keep our plans on track.
The House just passed a bill with $25 billion in funding for the USPS and now we need to put pressure on the Senate to take action.
Will you chip in the cost of a sheet of stamps -- just $11 -- to help us reach our end-of-month fundraising goal for our USPS advocacy efforts? You can use this URL to have your donation counted toward this month's $11,000 goal: www.AllOnTheLine.com/donate11

Friend -- It's clear that the recent attacks on the Postal Service are designed, in part, to hurt the vote-by-mail process of this fall's elections. So in order to ensure voters have a safe and healthy way to cast their ballots from home, we must do all we can to support the Postal Service.
36,306 AOTL supporters took a stand and signed a petition to protect the USPS. Will you be one of the supporters we need from Washington and join them? Add your name to show support for funding the Postal Service.
The Postal Service has been critical to our daily life since America's founding. Its roots are so deep that Benjamin Franklin was the first postmaster general before we had even declared our independence.
The attacks on the USPS will affect everyone. We rely on this service daily to deliver medicines, ship packages to rural communities, and provide Americans with an affordable way to send mail.
And the front-line USPS workers who have put themselves at risk every day during this pandemic deserve our support. Yet, politicians are willing to destroy this essential service because they believe that doing so can strategically suppress voter turnout.
All On The Line is committed to advocating for USPS funding and essential support because we believe that safe and accessible vote-by-mail is essential to democracy and that politicians have no place meddling with our mail. If you agree, then the Postal Service needs your help.
We need to show strong grassroots support if we want Congress to fund the USPS before it's too late. Can I count on you to add your name to show support for funding the Postal Service?
With fewer than three months until Election Day, time is running out to build the infrastructure we need to hold healthy, fair, and accessible elections -- a critical step to electing fair map advocates ahead of redistricting next year.
I hope I can count on your support in the fight to fund the Postal Service.
