Sign the Petition: Fire Postmaster General Louis
DeJoy
Last year, then-President Trumps handpicked Postmaster General
Louis DeJoy repeatedly made headlines for his efforts to sabotage the
Postal Service.
He imposed outrageous restrictions on postal
workers, removed mailboxes by the truckload, and more. And though many of
these dangerous directives were reversed by courts, thanks to lawsuits
from voting rights groups -- we now know that hamstringing the USPS was
a key part of Trumps plan to undermine vote-by-mail in the 2020
election.
Trump even admitted it -- when he said he was against funding
the USPS because they need that money in order to make the Post
Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots.
[1]
But even though Trump is no longer president, the threat that
he and DeJoy pose to our Postal Service remains. In fact, DeJoy just
unveiled a 10-year plan for the USPS that would further slow down
first-class mail delivery, reduce Post Office hours, and raise postage
prices. [2]
Thats outrageous -- Americans nationwide are still
counting on the Postal Service to safely deliver their paychecks, life-saving
medications, letters from their loved ones, and more. But unless we
take action, DeJoy will remain Postmaster General for -- in his words
-- a long time, [3] calling the shots for the very agency he has
tried to destroy.
On March 15th, President Biden officially nominated
three new members to the USPS Board of Governors, which is the only
body that has the power to fire DeJoy. They are currently awaiting Senate
confirmation.
Every day that DeJoy remains in charge, our USPS is
in jeopardy. Thats why the Senate must swiftly give up or down votes
for Bidens nominees to the Board of Governors -- and why the Board
must fire DeJoy when they take office. If you agree, add your name
today.
