| Petition to President Biden: Please appoint new USPS Board of Governors to fire Louis DeJoy and protect a strong USPS, customers, and workers. | The Trump-appointed head of the U.S. Postal Service, Louis DeJoy, is raising mail prices a fifth time since taking over during the Trump administration. That means sending mail will be more expensive for every single American. AGAIN. DeJoy even has a plan to privatize the Post Office, which would be a disaster for all of us, but especially for folks in rural and Indigenous communities, where broadband is scarce and for-profit delivery companies often don't provide service. So, why is President Biden allowing Trump's handpicked Postmaster General to keep his job? It's time for President Biden to protect the USPS and all Americans by firing DeJoy. Sign the petition: Urge President Biden to become a champion for the USPS. He has the authority to appoint two new USPS officials who will vote to fire DeJoy — and Biden must use this power now! President Biden can fire DeJoy by appointing two new people to the Postal Board of Governors who are committed to a strong USPS, worker safety, effective mail delivery, and firing Trump's Postmaster General. And it's critically important that he does it immediately. DeJoy's tenure has been a disaster for USPS workers. Trump appointed DeJoy in 2018 to oversee privatization of the postal service. Since then, DeJoy has cut postal worker staffing by over 30 million hours, and dramatically reduced wages for two thirds of rural mail carriers. Since being put in his role by Trump, DeJoy has been on a crusade to privatize the USPS, slash worker hours and pay, slow down mail delivery, and raise the costs for consumers, and it's time for President Biden to get rid of him. Add your name: Tell President Biden to appoint new USPS officials to get rid of DeJoy! |
