Two and a half centuries ago, before the United States of America even existed, the Second Continental Congress created a public mail system. Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first Postmaster General. And ever since, the USPS has served to bind the nation together, deliver letters, prescriptions, tax forms, ballots, paychecks, and packages to every address in the country, no matter the ZIP code. The Postal Service is and was always intended to put the public above profit. Now, Donald Trump wants to destroy it. He’s installed a former FedEx director (who still has millions in stock holdings) as the new Postmaster General. He’s trying to get a MAGA megadonor with no postal experience onto the Board of Governors. And he’s doing it all to clear the path for privatization, handing our national postal system to corporate giants who care only about profits, not public service. We’re fighting back – and winning. We’ve already forced the administration to withdraw one of their MAGA megadonor nominees for the Board. And with 200,000 letters to the Senate and counting, we’re going to block his second pick too. Just like we did in 2018 and stopped Trump’s first steps toward privatization. Just like we did in 2020 when we stopped Louis DeJoy’s attempts to sabotage vote-by-mail. We’re organizing, mobilizing, and demanding that Congress step up. Because if we don’t act now, the USPS may not survive through the end of Trump’s term.
With over 600,000 postal workers, many of them veterans — a high proportion of whom are also Black and brown, and women — these good union jobs have been a pathway to the middle class for countless communities. Trump and his greedy Wall Street buddies want to gut the post office for profit. They want to strip it down, sell it off, and leave millions of communities behind. Thanks for standing with us in the fight to save the post office. Annie. Annie Norman (she/her)
