Hi,
Trump and Wall Street are pushing for a private takeover of the Post
Office.^1 The appointment of the new Postmaster General — a board member
of FedEx, a direct competitor to the USPS — is a concerning development
for workers, consumers, and the very future of the postal service.
Corporate executives at FedEx and on Wall Street would love to reap the
profits from privatizing USPS. Wells Fargo even has a plan to privatize
the Post Office and make investors a lot of money.^2
Putting a FedEx guy at the head of the USPS presents serious conflicts of
interest that bolster Trump and Wall Street’s privatization plans.
Congress must step in to protect the Post Office and postal workers before
it’s too late.

privatize the U.S. Postal Service!

The USPS is America’s lifeline, delivering to every corner of the country.
A postal service run by Wall Street privatizers would very likely throw
away the universal service mandate that ensures delivery of prescription
medication, ballots, letters from family and more to every single address
in the nation — because it’s not profitable.
We can’t let Trump, CEOs, or the new, dangerous Postmaster General, David
Steiner, tear down the USPS, sell it for parts, and place it into the
hands of Wall Street billionaires. Prices will go up for consumers and
small businesses, workers will face job cuts on top of the 10,000 already
announced,^3 and people will lose the mail service they need.
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: Our lawmakers in Congress must defend the USPS from
Trump, Wall Street, and the new Postmaster General. Save the Post Office
from privatization!
Thanks for taking action,
