Sign the petition: Trump wants to privatize the Post Office in his 2nd term

 

TELL CONGRESS: Trump and his billionaire friends want to privatize the Post Office, destroying a public service for the people so corporations and CEOs can rake in massive profits. We can’t let the Trump-Musk regime ruin the USPS. Sign the petition: Don’t let Trump privatize and destroy the USPS!


Trump wants to privatize the Post Office, something he tried and failed to do in his first term.1

While Trump’s plan to destroy the USPS would be massively profitable for corporations, it would threaten rural communities, Indigenous communities, seniors, veterans, small businesses, and many millions of Americans who rely on affordable, reliable mail service.

Trump, Musk, and the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) have clear goals to destroy public goods for the benefit of billionaires and corporate CEOs. But with bipartisan congressional support for the USPS to improve service and prices for the people, we can save the Post Office from Trump’s disastrous plan.

Sign the petition: Don’t let Trump privatize the Post Office — urge Congress to protect this vital public good!

So-called “efficiency” and privatization are taking center stage again in the Trump-Musk transition. A top Trump official said private companies are much better than the USPS. He added that the first Trump administration “didn’t finish the job” on privatization, “but we should finish it now.”2

The USPS is America’s lifeline, delivering to every corner of the nation. We cannot let it be picked apart, sold for its parts, and placed into the hands of Wall Street billionaires.

Sign the petition: Urge members of Congress to stand against any plan to privatize USPS!

Thanks for taking action,

Sign the petition: Trump wants to privatize the Post Office

 


TELL CONGRESS: Trump has interest in privatizing the Post Office. If he does, mail delays, price increases, and working conditions will only get worse. We can’t let the Trump-Musk regime ruin the USPS. Sign the petition: Urge Congress to block Trump’s plans to privatize the USPS!


Trump just said his administration is interested in privatizing the Post Office1 in what would be a major boon for corporate profiteers and a significant blow to consumers and workers.

So-called “efficiency” and privatization are taking center stage again in the Trump-Musk transition, even as Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy runs a USPS with serious delay issues and constant price increases. A bipartisan outcry has continued for months over DeJoy’s handling of the mail service, but privatization will make things so much worse at USPS.

A top Trump official said private companies are much better than the USPS. He added that the first Trump administration “didn’t finish the job” on privatization, “but we should finish it now.”2

During his first term, Trump called the Post Office a joke and withheld emergency funding from the agency unless it jacked up prices.3 Now he wants to fully hand over the USPS to private operators. Our leaders need to stand in the way.
