Trump Postmaster General Louis DeJoy STILL hasn't been fired yet.

Hi,

Trump mega donor and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy just announced his latest terrible idea: he wants to eliminate 50,000 jobs.1

DeJoy unveiled the plan at a conservative think tank event this week, where he also introduced himself with pride as "the evil postmaster general."2

It's just one thing after another with this guy. He's under investigation for campaign-finance violations and conflicts of interest.3,4 His delivery slowdowns threatened to undermine the 2020 presidential election.5 He resisted the transition to electric vehicles at every turn.6

Enough is enough. It's way, WAY, past time for Louis DeJoy to be fired.

Louis DeJoy must go, and Demand Progress is helping to make that possible. Will you make a donation to support our work, including turning up the pressure to save the U.S. Postal Service?

When Donald Trump left the White House, most of his cronies went with him. But Louis DeJoy just keeps hanging around, defiantly and gleefully making the U.S. Postal Service worse.

Under Dejoy, on-time mail delivery declined from 92 percent to 61 percent, while postal rates went up.7 In the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, as an unprecedented number of voters prepared to vote by mail because of the pandemic, DeJoy ordered cuts to overtime and presided over the removal of nearly 700 high-speed mail sorters.8

Now DeJoy wants to eliminate 50,000 Postal Service jobs because he thinks he runs a for-profit corporation — not a public service.

Polls show that the U.S. Postal Service is one of the most popular government agencies, so if we can generate enough public attention, this is a fight we can win.

Demand Progress has driven more than 200,000 signatures in to Congress and the White House, urging them to act. We've helped ensure that Biden appointees now control the oversight board that can fire DeJoy.

Will you make a donation to Demand Progress Action and support our work, including turning up the heat to get rid of Louis DeJoy and save the U.S. Postal Service?

Thanks for standing with us,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
