Postmaster General Louis DeJoy must go! His 10-year plan is slowing the mail, raising prices, cutting and closing postal facilities, outsourcing postal work and paving the way for privatization of the U.S. Postal Service.

We must protect vote-by-mail. We must protect the timely delivery of medicines, legal papers and parcels. We must protect our vulnerable community members —seniors, veterans, rural and low-income residents, small businesses — who depend on reliable postal service.

December 8 ends the terms of Trump-appointees Chair Ron Bloom and John Barger of the Postal Board of Governors. President Biden has nominated Derek Kan (Republican) and Dan Tangherlini (Democrat) to the PBOG. Only the PBOG can fire DeJoy. We may be at a turning point. Now is the time to escalate the pressure to replace DeJoy and save the USPS.
