John,

Almost three years after his appointment, the United States Postal Service continues to languish under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s failed leadership.

Despite the passage of the Postal Service Reform Act (PSRA) which brought an infusion of cash, DeJoy still plans to raise postage prices at “uncomfortable rates” around the country. Additionally, numerous post office locations are set to be shuttered under his 10-year restructuring plan, impacting thousands of employees and deteriorating service to Black, brown, Indigenous, and rural communities.

As of December 8, there are two vacancies open on the Postal Board of Governors and President Joe Biden will have the opportunity to appoint governors who will stand up to DeJoy’s destructive leadership and advocate strongly for the expansion of USPS services.

Send a message to President Biden demanding he appoint two new Governors who will fire Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and expand USPS services.

We deserve a strong, diverse, and reform-oriented Board of Governors in place to hold the Postmaster General accountable to the true mission and public service goals of the USPS.

Now is no time for a passive board when the problems facing us are so wide. We need leadership with enthusiasm towards building the Postal Service of the future, who will think creatively about opportunities to expand services that will bring in new revenue like postal banking and other products, instead of narrowly focusing on service cuts and price hikes.

The American people deserve a Postal Service that is reliable and meets the needs of communities with expanded service, such as postal banking. Send a direct message to President Biden now to appoint two new Governors who will fire Louis DeJoy.

Thank you for all you do to protect this cherished public institution,
