vote out DeJoy! Sign now >>

People For Member,

In case you missed it: Postmaster General Louis DeJoy intends to implement
changes that will slow down mail and raise costs in the midst of a
once-in-a-century pandemic.

Even after coming under intense fire for his efforts to disrupt the mail
in the run up to the 2020 election, DeJoy is STILL trying to undermine
mail delivery for countless Americans who will be severely harmed if he
succeeds. He wants to force through new rules that would raise prices and
slow down mail delivery, including for those who rely on the mail to get
their prescriptions and pay their housing and health care bills on time.

DeJoy has been called to testify before a House of Representatives panel
next this week in advance of rolling out his new "strategic vision" for
the Postal Service, and we need to raise as much awareness about his
terrible leadership before he takes the stand. Once DeJoy’s testimony
reveals his incompetence, it will be even more clear that we need
President Biden to quickly fill all the vacant seats currently on the
Postal Service’s governing board so that they can remove DeJoy once and
for all.

[ [link removed] ]Sign now to urge President Biden to fill ALL of the vacancies on the
USPS Board of Governors and give them enough votes to fire DeJoy! >>

Once the new governors are confirmed by the Senate, there will be enough
votes on the board to both finally oust DeJoy as Postmaster General and
enable the agency’s leadership to make the community-focused service
improvements the Postal Service sorely needs.

Only 38 percent of mail was delivered on time at the end of 2020, after
DeJoy’s changes had been roiling the battered agency for a large part of
the year. And this month, two people briefed on DeJoy’s “strategic vision”
revealed that he intends to ban air transport for first-class mail at a
time when successful delivery rates are already historically low.^[1] For
DeJoy to implement changes that will slow mail service in the midst of a
pandemic – during which receiving medications and paying bills by mail
have continued to be a lifeline for millions of Americans – could be
catastrophic.

[ [link removed] ]Help us get enough votes to remove DeJoy by urging President Biden to
fill the USPS Board’s vacant seats! >>

It’s imperative that we save the Postal Service, one of our country’s most
relied-upon and beloved institutions. To do that, we need your help in the
lead-up to DeJoy’s record of incompetence being on full display at this
week’s House hearing.

[ [link removed] ]Take action and then spread the word: Biden must act immediately to
save the post office from DeJoy! >>

Thanks for all that you do!
