USPS is on the verge of shutting down

Our Postal Service is on the verge of shutting down...

Pamela, did you see our message? SIGN NOW: Our Postal Service is on the verge of shutting down – demand Congress step in and save it now >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, the USPS is sounding the alarm: without action, it could run out of money and stop deliveries as soon as this October. [1] And I don't need to tell you: that would be the WORST possible timing for the millions of Americans who vote by mail. This was no accident. Trump and his allies have spent years trying to gut the USPS – pushing cuts, downsizing, and privatization schemes to dismantle a public service that millions of Americans rely on every day. [2] And now, if Congress doesn't step in immediately, they may finally succeed. Trump has never hidden his goal: he's hell-bent on taking away our right to vote by mail, and seems to believe that any government function that isn't about making him or his fellow billionaires richer just isn't worth it. But Pamela, you know the truth: the USPS is a vital, dependable, and all-American public service that's crucial to our democracy. If Trump thinks he can take it away from us without a fight, he's got another thing coming. Sign The Petition: Tell Congress to act now and fully fund the USPS before it's too late >> SIGN THE PETITION The Postal Service is written into our Constitution for a reason: it's meant to connect the country and support a functioning democracy. For generations, it's helped ensure the free flow of information – and today, that includes delivering our ballots. Take that away, and millions of Americans – especially rural voters and seniors – are at risk of losing their voices entirely. That's why we're looking at this new threat to USPS as just one part of Trump's strategy to control the 2026 midterms before a single vote is cast – by undercutting our ability to vote by mail or even just creating uncertainty about our ballots being delivered on time.   But if we sound the alarm RIGHT NOW, and make sure Congress knows we're expecting them to fully fund our Postal Service, we can nip that plot in the bud before it can silence a single voter. SIGN NOW: Demand Congress fully fund the Postal Service and protect it from collapse >> Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause [1] https://www.npr.org/2026/03/17/nx-s1-5750419/usps-running-out-of-money-postal-service-david-steiner [2] https://www.epi.org/publication/president-trump-attacks-the-postal-service-your-questions-answered/ Common Cause is a leader in fights that matter at the local, state, and national level.
