Stand up to Louis DeJoy and protect voting rights!
We urge you to take a stand against Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy by passing the Election Mail Act, legislation supporting the delivery and processing of election mail and making sure voters do not have to pay to return ballots.
Why is this important?
Trump’s Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has demonstrated over and over again he’ll prioritize profit over ensuring USPS accomplishes its key functions. When it comes to the fundamental right to vote, we can’t trust DeJoy to do the right thing.
That’s why Congress must pass the Election Mail Act, legislation that would codify Americans’ right to vote by mail and get their votes counted.
Sign the petition: Congress must pass the Election Mail Act, legislation that would require USPS to offer First-Class mailing service for all ballots at no cost to voters!
In the midst of DeJoy’s Great Consolidation of the US Postal Service, the need for laws protecting mail-in voting is greater than ever. If DeJoy shutters facilities and cuts the USPS workforce, as planned, he’ll be jeopardizing Americans’ right to get their votes counted — especially in rural areas.
President Biden and Congress need to be countering DeJoy’s austerity plans at every step of the way. Right now, Congress can stand up to DeJoy on the urgent issue of voting rights.
The Election Mail Act includes vital safeguards such as ensuring voters don’t have to pay to return mail-in ballots; making sure USPS postmarks ballots, and states count them on time; protecting absentee voting; and preventing USPS from making operational changes within 120 days of an election. These reforms must pass now!
