Fire Trump’s Postmaster General!

After two years of destructive leadership, it’s time to fire Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. The only way to do that is to make sure the next two nominees to the Postal Board of Governors will stand up to DeJoy, invest in a green postal service, protect union jobs, and build a strong USPS that serves all American communities!

Why is this important?

Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is still in office — and still trying to decimate the postal service at the expense of Black, Brown and Indigenous communities. President Biden must stop DeJoy.

This spring, Congress passed the Postal Service Reform Act, which invests in USPS and postal workers. Despite this cash infusion, DeJoy is still trying to slash USPS operations by cutting positions, hiking postage rates, and shuttering post offices around the country.

DeJoy has to go. The only way to fire DeJoy is to nominate two public servants to the Postal Board of Governors who will stand up to DeJoy, invest in a green postal service, protect union jobs, and build a strong USPS that serves all American communities!

Tell President Biden to nominate two board members to the Postal Board of Governors who reflect our national diversity and will stand up to Louis DeJoy!

USPS offers a huge opportunity for promoting equity. Postal Service jobs have long been a pathway to the middle-class for Black Americans, who make up nearly a quarter of postal workers. And the postal service plays a vital role in connecting our communities, especially rural communities. We rely on USPS to deliver ballots, communicate, bring life-saving prescriptions to seniors, and so much more.

We need a Postmaster General who will take advantage of this opportunity. Instead, we have Louis DeJoy — who plans to eliminate 50,000 good union jobs over the next decade as part of his plan for USPS austerity.

It’s time for a visionary Postal Board of Governors who will fire DeJoy and herald in a new era for the Postal Service. That means investing in a union-made, electric postal fleet; ensuring postal jobs remain good union jobs; and expanding USPS public service even further by looking into offering banking services, internet access, and more through the postal service.

Currently, the Postal Board of Governors is majority white and majority male. We need nominees who bring a diversity of life experience to the board — reflecting the postal workforce and our nation as a whole.

Tell President Biden to nominate two board members to the Postal Board of Governors who reflect our national diversity and will stand up to Louis DeJoy!
