Tell Amazon: Don’t privatize delivery or undermine USPS!
Amazon’s contract with the United States Postal Service (USPS) expires next year, but the tech giant hasn’t yet agreed to renew. Instead, it’s threatening to grow a rival delivery network that would compete directly with USPS.
The USPS is a public service that ensures Americans can send and receive mail at reasonable costs set by the government. If Amazon dissolves this partnership and fully privatizes its delivery, it would be a HUGE blow to our national mail service.
Sign the petition to say NO to Amazon building a competing delivery service and urge executives to maintain its partnership with USPS. >>
Why is this important?
Amazon accounts for 7.5% of USPS’s sales—its number one customer. Losing this revenue stream of billions of dollars each year while fighting to compete with a growing Amazon network would be devastating for our postal service, which is already struggling and under threat by the Trump administration.
A massive delivery company run by Amazon and competing with USPS means fewer union jobs, less control over the cost of mail, and more uncertainty for Americans living in harder to reach rural communities. USPS plays a critical role in our communities—ensuring that everything from medicine to food to messages from loved ones can get to every single resident. A private Amazon delivery company—motivated by profits—would threaten the infrastructure we need to invest in, expand, and grow USPS as a public good.
Protect our national mail service—sign the petition telling Amazon to renew its contract and stop trying to put USPS out of business.
