The fact is -- only the USPS Board of Governors can actually fire DeJoy and allow President Biden to nominate a replacement. Up until now, despite massive public pressure, the Board has withstood pressure to take action. Recent developments may finally be driving a change.
A bipartisan group of 26 Senators -- including 13 Republicans -- demanded DeJoy stop plans to consolidate sorting centers, redirect mail processing and slow down the mail, highlighting the dangerous impact those changes had on mail-in ballots. Then, the Save the Post Office Coalition joined in sending 440,327 direct messages to the USPS Board, Inspector General and the Postal Regulatory Commission.
The joint pressure of Congress and regulators, backed up by our coalition, stopped Louis DeJoy from implementing his plan -- at least for now -- when the USPS announced plans to pause changes until 2025.
Now, some members of Congress are using this moment to recharge the demand to remove DeJoy completely.
It’s long past time for a new Postmaster General at USPS, but to succeed, we need a flood of congressional leaders to echo the call to action.
Contribute to Save the Post Office, through our sponsor Americans for Financial Reform, to fund the fight urging Members of Congress to publicly demand the USPS Board of Governors fire Louis DeJoy now!
