US (SAVE THE POSTAL SERVICE) : CONGRESS created this USPS crisis and TRUMP can’t wait to cash in.

 

Friend, The Postmaster General has sounded the alarm and the situation  is urgent. The Postal Service could run out of cash if Congress  refuses to act, and the timeline is tightening fast. This crisis is  unfolding and Donald Trump and his greedy corporate buddies are  still ready to push a long-standing agenda to privatize the USPS and  hand it over to corporate interests. Trump has made it clear that he sees the Postal Service as something  to be broken apart and sold off. Now, restructuring consultants with  a track record of outsourcing and privatization are being brought in,  signaling exactly where this is headed. The playbook is simple:  weaken the institution, then claim privatization is the only way  forward. We can’t let this happen. Congress created the conditions for this crisis by imposing  financial restrictions that have cost the USPS billions and  blocked it from fully expanding services. Lawmakers can  reverse that damage right now. They can lift those restrictions,  allow new revenue streams, and guarantee that the Postal  Service remains public and accountable to the people. None of it happens without public pressure. Every time  the Postal Service has been protected, it happened  because people organized, spoke out, and forced Congress  to act. Rush a donation to save the Postal Service and  deliver the resources we need to build pressure and stop  Trump’s privatization push now. DONATE NOW Trump and his billionaire buddies are counting on this moment to  slip by without resistance. They don’t want people to connect the dots  between financial strain and the golden opportunity to privatize a vital  public service. This is the same playbook used over and over again. Undermine a  public institution, restrict its ability to function, then argue that it  cannot survive without being handed over to private corporations  who do it better. (Spoiler, they don’t). The only goal is profit, not  service, and communities that are harder to serve will be the first to  be left behind because the routes are not profitable. The Postal Service delivers to every ZIP code in this country and  connects millions of people to essential goods, medications,  ballots, and services. Once it is privatized, that universal promise  disappears. We know what works. When hundreds of thousands of people  take action, Congress responds. When pressure builds, even the  most aggressive privatization plans can be stopped. We have  done it before and we can do it again, but only if we act with  urgency. Make a contribution now to help us mobilize nationwide  pressure and stop Trump’s effort to privatize the USPS. Together, we will protect the Postal Service from privatization  and defend it as a public good for generations to come. - Annie Annie Norman (she/her) Campaign Manager Save the Post Office Coalition.
