John,
Every day the climate crisis gets worse and in the U.S., transportation is
the largest source of carbon emissions, producing over 28% of greenhouse
gases.
That’s why Louis DeJoy’s finalized plan to have the U.S. Postal Service
purchase over 100,000 new gas-powered trucks that only get 8 miles per
gallon must be reversed.
Thankfully there is a bill that would stop DeJoy’s purchase of these
gas-guzzling vehicles, The Green Postal Service Fleet Act of 2022.
This bill would prohibit the United States Postal Service from carrying
out its contract for a new generation vehicle fleet unless the fleet is at
least 75 percent electric.
With 68 co-sponsors in the House currently, we need to get every member of
Congress in the House and Senate on board and pass The Green Postal
Service Fleet Act.

If we’re going to stop catastrophic climate change before it’s too late,
we have to take it on anywhere and everywhere we can.
We can make a huge leap forward by ensuring America’s second-largest
vehicle fleet, one-third of the federal government's entire fleet isn’t
powered by 8 miles per gallon trucks that have the efficiency of a hummer.
There is no reason why the USPS fleet can’t go electric. We just have to
take on DeJoy and push Congress to act.

Thank you for doing your part in calling on our leaders to stop DeJoy.
