John,

Since his appointment to the United States Postal Service, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has deliberately slowed down the speed of mail service in an attempt to ruin the agency from the inside. He even slowed down the return of mail-in ballots in hopes of re-electing Donald Trump.

Now, DeJoy and the rest of the postal management team is now trying to permanently slow down the delivery of our mail. USPS has announced slowdowns to their “service standards”, which are the on-time delivery targets for different kinds of mail.

DeJoy can't be allowed to slow down the mail anymore. We’re joining a progressive coalition to call on the USPS to stop the slowdown during the public comment period. Will you send a letter right now? It’ll only take a minute!

The Postal Service’s focus should be on improving on the delays that plagued the service in the past year, not making those delays permanent.

Today, First Class Mail is supposed to be delivered within 1-3 days, depending on the delivery distance. Under the new proposed rules, this delivery time could be as long as 5 days for both first class and periodicals delivery.

Before these changes become permanent, USPS must first engage in public reviews: a Federal Register rule-making process and an advisory opinion by the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). Your comment will be emailed directly to the Federal Register. But the comment period closes tomorrow, June 22nd, so be sure to submit your comment right away!

Let's show the USPS that there's a groundswell of grassroots support for stopping the slowdown. Click here to start writing now.

In solidarity,
