The Postal Service belongs to the American people. It is one of the oldest, most unifying and inclusive institutions in our country. But we continue to grapple with MAJOR, INTENTIONAL delays.

The driving force behind sabotage of the USPS is Trump appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. DeJoy is riddled with major conflicts of interest -- he owns at least a $30 million stake in a USPS contractor and as much as $100,000 in Amazon stock options.

DeJoy acted swiftly to undercut the Postal Service after taking office, ordering multiple policies to deliberately slow the mail. Recently, DeJoy introduced a sweeping plan that will reduce post office hours, increase postage prices and slow down mail delivery.

This can be remedied, and we can save the USPS. But first, DeJoy must be removed.

The Postal Board of Governors is the boss of the Postmaster General. They hire and fire the postmaster, review all practices of the post office, and oversee policies for the postal service. The board currently has three openings for new members that can immediately address USPS concerns. President Biden announced three new appointments to the USPS Board of Governors -- all great selections and all have been confirmed.

However, this might not be enough! Sitting board members have expressed hesitancy in firing DeJoy, so we must ensure we have a board who will work towards restoring the USPS. One sitting board member, Ron Bloom, has served on the Board of Governors since August 2019, appointed by Trump and to serve the remainder of a seven-year term that expired Dec. 8, 2020. He is currently in a hold-over year and can be replaced by Biden.

We must demand that President Biden immediately replace Bloom so we can get to work fixing the USPS.
