Louis DeJoy is doubling down on ruining the U.S. Postal Service.

Dear Friend,

First, he slowed mail delivery during the U.S. election. Then he unveiled a 10-year plan to cut post office hours and raise prices.

Now Louis DeJoy is doubling down on destroying the U.S. Postal Service by shuttering 18 mail-processing plants.1

Enough is enough. We need to stop Postmaster General Louis DeJoy before he does any more damage.

President Joe Biden can’t fire DeJoy directly, but he has named three spectacular nominees to the governing board who can.2 So we’re pressuring the Senate to confirm the appointees ASAP, and we’re demanding that the board give DeJoy the boot once and for all.

Throughout the pandemic, postal workers have been among the most essential employees—working tirelessly to deliver medication, ballots, letters, and checks.

But the leadership of the USPS slowed the mail during the election, and postal workers and the essential mail service we all rely on suffered badly.

In March 2021, DeJoy submitted a plan that would make things even worse, lengthening first-class delivery windows and cutting service hours. The Washington Post called it the “largest rollback of consumer mail services in a generation.”3

The plan was widely panned, but DeJoy only doubled down. This week, he announced he would accelerate the closure of vital mail processing facilities around the country.

It’s long past time for DeJoy to go. But some Democrats on the nine-member board that has the power to fire him have voiced support for him.4 We need to make sure that Biden’s nominees are confirmed by the Senate, and we must keep the heat on the board and demand that it replace DeJoy.

Demand Progress is waging a grassroots offensive to get Louis DeJoy fired and replaced with someone who believes in the simple, universal promise of the U.S. Postal Service. Will you chip in?

Thanks for standing with us.
