Hi,

We think we’ve found a way to finally fire Trump’s Postmaster General
Louis DeJoy. The power could lie with Senator Gary Peters.

Sen. Peters is the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs and directly oversees the confirmation
process for the USPS Board of Governors. Only the USPS Board of Governors
has the power to fire DeJoy, and there are two public service champions
waiting to be appointed to the Board to take action.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: tell Chairman Peters to appoint public service
champions to the USPS Board of Governors who will Fire Louis DeJoy now.

ADD YOUR NAME

The Save the Post Office campaign has named two alternatives we can rely
on to steer a public service Postal Service: Rep. Brenda Lawrence and
civil society advocate Sarah Anderson. These nominees are endorsed by 300
labor and public-interest groups—all President Biden needs to do is to
nominate them.^1

The situation at the USPS is dire, with DeJoy trying to slash USPS
operations by cutting positions, hiking postage rates, and shuttering post
offices around the country.^2 DeJoy’s assault on USPS personnel harms
Black Americans, who make up a significant portion of our postal
workforce,^3 as well as rural and older Americans, who rely on USPS for
communication, goods, and to deliver life-saving medications.

A federal judge recently ruled that DeJoy tanked the delivery of ballots
in the 2020 election by making changes to mail delivery just before the
election.^4

We still have Trump appointees on the Postal Board of Governors and Trump
appointee Louis DeJoy at the helm. To turn the USPS around, we need new
nominees to the Board who will challenge DeJoy; invest in a union-made,
electric postal fleet; ensure postal jobs remain good union jobs; and
expand USPS public service even further by looking into offering banking
services, internet access, and more.^5

[ [link removed] ]Tell Chairman Peters: Lead the fight to send public service champions
to the USPS Board of Governors who will Fire Louis DeJoy now.

Thanks for taking action,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
