Dear Friend,
Across the country, postal workers are sounding the alarm about the Post Office’s future. President Trump’s new postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, has gone from using “cost-cutting” measures to slow down the mail to a full-on dismantling of the U.S. Postal Service.
Millions of Americans, particularly seniors and veterans, get important goods and services like prescription drugs and Social Security checks through the mail. Plus, the demand for vote by mail will increase substantially during November because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s difficult to believe that there could be a world without the Post Office. But that could actually become reality if we don’t do something.
The Postmaster General has begun to feel the heat -- but we need to keep up the pressure and watch him and the Trump Administration like a hawk.
Let’s stay in this fight. Congress needs to fight to make sure the Post Office is strong today, tomorrow and for decades to come.
Sincerely,
Richard Fiesta
Executive Director
