Dear Friend,

BREAKING: Louis DeJoy's USPS has been running a "covert" operation to
monitor social media for inflammatory content.^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's 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

And now we learn that a covert arm of the U.S. Postal Service is
monitoring our social media accounts, handing information about protests
and other dissenting activity to other departments of the government.^4

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.^5 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.

[ [link removed] ]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.
