	<description>Donald Trump and his greedy buddies would love to gut the United States Postal Service. Out of touch billionaires and Wall Street goons are licking their lips at all profits they’d gain from privatizing the post office – from higher postage rates, to service cuts, and even the closure of post offices that they deem unprofitable. Rural and remote ZIP codes, including many Indigenous communities, seniors, veterans, and small businesses would be left stranded without the USPS lifeline they depend on. That is the real cost of privatization, and it is exactly why public opposition has been so powerful. Trump’s postal privatization plan collapsed in 2018 and has stalled again today because people across the country mobilized to stop him. Now it is time to take our fight to the states. Governors and Legislators must join in by passing proclamations in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Postal Service and publicly reject privatization. These proclamations matter. They rally communities, strengthen our allies in Washington, and make it clear that attempts to dismantle the USPS will meet fierce resistance everywhere. The Postal Service is a lifeline. It delivers prescriptions to seniors and veterans, ballots to voters, shipments for small businesses, and essential services to rural and Indigenous communities. Privatization would devastate these communities and enrich only Trump and his greedy billionaire buddies. We must send an unmistakable message from every local government that the USPS belongs to the people. City Councils, County Commissions, Mayor Offices, State Legislative bodies, and Tribal governments can all pass proclamations. Click “START WRITING” to tell your Governor and State Legislators to honor the USPS’s 250th anniversary and pass proclamations opposing privatization.</description>
