Friend -- We are running out of time to confirm Biden's nominees
to the USPS Board of Governors and rein in Louis DeJoy. [ [link removed] ]Will you sign
our petition calling on the Senate to save the U.S. Postal Service?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend,
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has found a new way to destroy the post
office: short mail carriers their paychecks.
An exposé by the Center for Public Integrity revealed that while many mail
carriers are working overtime to help deliver during the holiday rush,
carriers are reporting that the overtime isn't showing up in their checks
-- and, in fact, thousands of managers have been caught illegally changing
time cards under budget pressure from above. And the wage theft is pushing
postal employees to quit, leaving the USPS more strapped.(1)
Our post offices can't afford to have DeJoy still in charge, and we need
you to help us speak up. The Senate is considering two nominees to the
governance board that oversees DeJoy, and Courage California has joined a
coalition of organizations demanding that the Senate assure that the
nominees will rein in DeJoy's destructive actions and strengthen the USPS.

Postal Service?
On-time mail delivery is critical to our communities.
For more than 200 years, the U.S. Postal Service has delivered essential
goods to the farthest reaches of the country. Seniors depend on the
delivery of their Social Security checks, and veterans receive their
medications from the V.A. And we mail in millions of ballots to
participate in elections.
DeJoy must go. We’re rallying grassroots pressure to make this a priority
in the Senate. Will you join our cause?

Yours in the fight for our public services,

Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team)
