Hi,

Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy wants to cut 50,000 Postal Service
positions.^1 [ [link removed] ]Click here to stop DeJoy.

Not only will DeJoy’s plan eliminate 50,000 good union jobs, it’ll also
compromise the ability of the Postal Service to carry out its essential
functions — like delivering ballots safely^2 and bringing life-saving
prescriptions to seniors and rural communities.^3

DeJoy’s plan to decimate the USPS workforce is just one piece of his
broader vision for USPS austerity. The Postal Service is an essential
public service, yet DeJoy cares more about cutting costs than making sure
USPS performs its key functions.

jobs!

USPS funding is a major equity concern. The postal service is the
lifeblood of much of rural America, where people rely on the USPS to
deliver goods and transmit information. In areas without internet access,
US mail is absolutely essential.^3

And there’s another problem with DeJoy’s plan: it reinforces the idea that
USPS should be managed like a business. That’s absurd. USPS is a public
good. 

Instead of slashing postal workers, we should be taking advantage of the
huge opportunity USPS offers for our country. USPS should expand its
services for rural and low-income communities even further by looking into
offering banking services, internet access, and more.^4
