actionnetwork.orgSave the USPS Donald Trump and his greedy billionaire buddies on Wall Street are once again trying to privatize the United States Postal Service. Their goal is simple: break it apart, and sell it off for its parts to the highest corporate bidder that has zero interest in continuing to serve every ZIP code.
Now, we have a real opportunity to have Congress take a stand and vow to stop Trump’s USPS privatization plan and save the people’s post office.
Almost 200 members of Congress have already co-sponsored bipartisan resolutions that would draw a clear line in the sand that Congress intends to take every measure to ensure the Postal Service remains an independent public institution.
H.Res.70 and S.Res.147 reaffirm the founding principle that the USPS exists to serve the people, not greedy corporate billionaires. These resolutions are proof that protecting our public post office is a bipartisan concern, with support from Democrats and Republicans alike. From Republican Rep. Don Bacon and Sen. Thom Tillis, to Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan and Rep. Gerry Connolly, lawmakers across deep red and blue districts are rejecting privatization.
Leaders in both political parties know exactly who it would hurt: rural families, veterans, seniors, postal workers, Black-owned small businesses, Indigenous communities, and many more. The loss of the people’s post office and the public services it provides to folks across the country would be devastating.
The Postal Service is a constitutional promise, a critical part of our public infrastructure, our economy, and one of the most beloved and trusted public institutions in American life. It delivers to over 168 million addresses every single day, and employs more than 630,000 people in a postal workforce where nearly 30% are Black, and over 40% are women.
Trump and his billionaire cronies tried dismantling the post office for their own profit before. And we stopped them. But now they’re back with an even more aggressive plan. We can’t stay silent, Congress must hear from us that we will not allow a hostile takeover of the people’s post office to succeed. The damage will be irreversible. Congress must act before it’s too late.
This is our chance to once again show Wall Street our broad, bipartisan support for the defense of the Postal Service from being gutted for corporate gain.
