US (SAVE THE POSTAL SERVICE) : SAVE the POST OFFICE from PRIVATIZATION!

 

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.
