John, have you heard about Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s latest plan to sabotage the USPS?
DeJoy – the GOP mega-donor who was handpicked by Donald Trump to run the Postal Service – plans to phase out 50,000 USPS jobs in the coming years. [1]
That’s right: on top of raising prices, closing post offices, slowing our mail delivery, and more – DeJoy is now planning to drastically shrink the USPS workforce.
Sign the Petition: Enough is enough. The USPS Board of Governors must fire DeJoy and replace him with someone who will protect this vital public service, not gut it >>
Around the country, families, small business owners, voters, and more are relying on the USPS.
But since taking office, DeJoy has done nothing but try to bring the Postal Service to a grinding halt. Ahead of the 2020 election, he helped further Trump’s crusade against vote-by-mail by placing outrageous restrictions on postal workers and removing mailboxes by the truckload.
And even since President Biden took office, DeJoy has continued to gum up USPS operations. Last year, he rolled out a now infamous 10-year plan that will make the Postal Service less affordable and accessible for many of us.
Here’s what we can do: two pro-DeJoy members of the USPS Board of Governors are about to reach the end of their terms. This is the only body that can fire DeJoy – and if Biden acts quickly to replace these members and the Senate confirms them, the Board could FINALLY have the momentum it needs to do so. [2]
Add your name if you agree: President Biden and the USPS Board of Governors must act swiftly to ensure that Louis DeJoy is FIRED.
John, there isn’t a moment to waste. We’re just a couple months away from the midterms – which means Biden’s window to line up new USPS Board members is shrinking.
I hope you’ll join me in speaking out today,
