re: Louis DeJoy

 

In case you missed it yesterday, Adam called for President Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, to resign immediately. DeJoy, a major Trump donor, is running the U.S. Postal Service into the ground less than three months out from Election Day. The only way we’ll stop him is by banding together, bringing Congress back into session, and building the public pressure needed to force him to step down. I know my team reached out to you earlier today, but this is an urgent matter. After President Trump openly admitted earlier this week that he won’t fund the U.S. Postal Service to prevent people voting by mail in this November’s election, the attacks on the USPS have only gotten worse. Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy – a major Trump campaign donor and businessman with a multi-million dollar investment in a competing postal service contractor – has made massive cost-cutting measures and policy changes, including banning overtime, cutting staff, consolidating power, and decommissioning 671 mail-sorting machines (10 percent of the nation’s inventory). Plus, people across the country are witnessing dozens of mail boxes being removed from their communities. The Postal Service has now warned the nation that as a direct result of these changes, voters in 46 states and Washington, DC could potentially be disenfranchised this November due to service delays. I’ll be blunt: the Trump administration’s deliberate attacks on the Postal Service are nothing short of voter suppression. And it’s time for the man behind these blatant attacks to step down. Our democracy is at stake. Let’s fight back.We cannot let DeJoy run the Postal Service into the ground right before one of the most important elections in our lifetime, one in which millions of people were planning to vote with mail-in ballots in the middle of a pandemic. – Adam
