Dear Friend,

You might remember that almost a year ago, Katie Porter eviscerated the
failed leadership of Louis DeJoy at the USPS and called for him to be
fired by the USPS Board of Governors.

Katie Porter is still right. Yet Louis DeJoy is still the postmaster
general today.

Now, despite the passage of the Postal Service Reform Act, which allocated
$50 billion in additional funding over the next 10 years, DeJoy has
announced he still plans to raise postage prices at “uncomfortable rates”
and fire 50,000 workers.(1)

[ [link removed] ]President Biden can fix this by nominating the final two members of the
USPS Board of Governors needed to fire Louis DeJoy. Make sure he knows
you’re counting on him to act by sending a direct message now.

Before Trump appointed him to postmaster general, Louis DeJoy was a Trump
megadonor.

He has fought every attempt to transition to a green fleet of electric
mail trucks, despite concerns raised by the White House Council on
Environmental Quality and the Environmental Protection Agency about the
impact of purchasing new gas guzzling vehicles on climate change. DeJoy is
intentionally hobbling Biden’s pledge requiring that the federal fleet be
100% zero-emission vehicles by 2035.

DeJoy is also currently under investigation for campaign-finance
violations and conflicts of interest. No wonder, at an event hosted by the
right-wing American Enterprise Institute, he introduced himself as "the
evil postmaster general." This level of corruption is something that
should get you fired, not something to brag about.

President Biden gave Mitch McConnell a say in who the previous Board of
Governors nominees were. We cannot let that happen again. President Biden
has shown he will listen to public pressure about appointees now, and we
need to take advantage. Two more vacancies are opening, and President
Biden must listen to the public and appoint Governors who will stand up to
DeJoy’s destructive leadership and advocate for the USPS as a public
service.

We can’t stand by and watch as Louis DeJoy’s sabotage continues to hurt
one of our nation’s oldest and most loved systems.

Thanks for taking action to save the post office today.
