It’s no accident that DeJoy -- the first Postmaster General in two decades without experience working in the postal service -- was appointed just months after Trumps’ Office of Management and Budget released recommendations that the USPS should be privatized. The result has been the slow decimation of one of America’s most treasured institutions.
The Postal Service is a lifeline to people living in remote areas, rural communities, and Indigenous communities. Privatizing the USPS would hurt these communities the most because -- unlike UPS and FedEx -- the USPS is required by law to deliver all mail to all regions at a flat rate.
Private companies won’t build offices in rural and remote areas because it’s not profitable.
That’s why privatization would lead to less service and higher rates.
With MAGA Republicans controlling the U.S. House, the postal service is in even greater threat. Now, more than ever, we need to organize to protect and strengthen the USPS from attacks.
